In Search of Sisu by Geordie Stewart
At the age of 22, Geordie Stewart became the youngest Briton to climb the Seven Summits - the highest mountain on every continent.Aged 17, he read a book about Everest and, despite no climbing experience, became obsessed with achieving this ambition. Four years later, despite turning around 150m from the summit on his first attempt, he stood on top of the world.
The book offers a raw, emotive and passionate insight into the complexity of teenage vulnerabilities. The real aim in those seven mountains was not climbing glory or breaking records but rather a path to contentment.
In Search of Sisu reveals Geordie's transition from a self-doubting teenager to a young man who had the belief to realise his dreams.
