Alps 4000 by Martin Moran
Many climbers dedicate a lifetime to the conquest of the Alpine peaks over 4000 metres high, but Martin Moran and Simon Jenkins set out to climb all 75 of them in one continuous journey. Furthermore, they shunned motorized transport, and instead used bicycles to travel from one starting point to the next. Faced with blizzards, white-outs and thunderstorms, and fighting hunger, exhaustion and near-despair, the two men succeeded in their attempt, covering more than 1000km, including 70,000 metres of ascent, in just 52 days. This is Moran's account of the journey, interspersed with extracts from Jenkins's diary.Martin Moran makes a life in New York City as an actor and writer. Titanic, Cabaret, Bells Are Ringing, and Floyd Collins are just a few of the Broadway and Off-Broadway productions in which he has appeared. He won an Obie Award in 2004 for his one-man show The Tricky Part, which was commended by New York Times theatrical critic Ben Brantley for its quiet win in rendering turmoil with such clarity. Moran continues to tour the country with The Tricky Part.
