- THE DEVIL'S SPADE
|
|
||||
| 'Miracle on Everest' became the favourite title for newspapers and other media reporting the details of my ordeal on Everest in late May 2006. The fact that I was left as dead only to be found alive again after twelve hours in the open not far below the summit of Everest, led to the words 'Lazarus' and 'resurrection' being used in the same reports. During the second-half of 2006 I had plenty of time to appreciate just how close I had come to being just another frozen statistic on the world's highest peak. I also realised how far removed from the truth were many of the web-reports being issued from the basecamps during the weeks when eleven people died on Everest. I decided that DEAD LUCKY would be my personal story of my own climb, but I hoped that through the telling I would be able to convey something of the essence of climbing the greatest of all mountains. Mountaineering for me has always been as much a journey of the mind and spirit as of the physical journey up and down a mountain. Never has that duality been clearer to me than during the writing of DEAD LUCKY, where I had to dissect every feeling and experience in order to understand the truth – or as much of it as I could grasp – about what happened to me on Everest. Only then did I have any chance of conveying even slivers of that truth to my readers. | |
