Out of Mind by Joe French
Having survived the 2015 Everest Avalanche, climber and film cameraman Joe French found his way back to health and stability through barefoot running in the forest near his home.‘Thrilling and utterly honestThis book transports its reader to the audacity, bravery and tragedy of climbing in the theatre of Everest.’
Disastrously, unputdownably readable. This isn’t just derring-do, but a deeply intelligent and moving reflection on the sort of creatures we are, and how we should live.
‘This book took me to dark edge of fear... An utterly compelling read.’
Born in 1978, Joe French grew up in Sheffield. A decade of worldwide travel followed, which led him to the Highlands of Scotland, where he now lives. Joe taught himself to become a climbing cameraman and made films on Ben Nevis which kickstarted a successful career in TV.

He has worked for Channel 4, the BBC, and Discovery Channel. Joe is a climber, musician, barefoot runner, and member of Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team. He is married to Julie French and together they have two children: Imogen and Jemima.
