The Meaning of Mountains

Stephen Carter and Jeremy Kourdi

Chapter Chapter Four in The Road to Audacity, 2003, pp 52-56 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Steve Venables has been described as one of the most talented climbers of his generation - and one of the most articulate. He was one of the first Britons to climb Everest without oxygen, reaching the summit on his own in May 1988. In doing so, he pioneered with a small team a remarkable new route up the Kanshung face, the biggest wall on Everest. It has been a privilege to have met and worked with Steve many times over the last ten years and our conversations were one of the inspirations behind this book.
