Summary

When climber Alison Hargreaves died on K2 the media had a field day, dwelling almost exclusively on whether, as a mother, she should have been climbing at all. But this is a story of bravery, passion and fortitude that captures the spirit of climbing and reclaims her life from those who, until now, have focused only on her tragic death.

Regions of the Heart by Rose David And Ed Douglas

REGIONS OF THE HEART conveys the physical hardships, mental hardness, technical skill and courage demanded of professional mountaineering at the highest level, but also the unimaginable pressure to make headlines in order to attract sponsorship. In the wake of Alison Hargreaves's death on K2, the media had a field day, dwelling almost exclusively on whether, as a mother, she should have been climbing at all. In REGIONS OF THE HEART, a full picture of her emerges for the first time. This is adventure writing of the finest kind; a remarkable story of bravery, passion and fortitude that captures the spirit of climbing and reclaims Alison Hargreaves's life from those who've focussed only on her tragic death.
David Rose and Ed Douglas are freelance journalists whose work has appeared on television, radio, newspapers and magazines. David Rose lives in Oxford and Ed Douglas lives in Sheffield. Both are accomplished climbers themselves.
