À propos de cet audio

Sit back and join the ride with this collection of edge-of-your-seat climbing stories by Mark Twight, aka Dr. Doom. "Somewhere out there somebody understands these words and knows they matter. They were written in blood, learned by heart." (Mark Twight)

Mark Twight is a BANFF award-winner, an extreme climber, an extreme writer, and an extreme personality. No matter what he's doing, Mark Twight takes a definite, and often controversial , stand. Anyone who knows climbing knows Twight's name, and anyone who knows Twight's name will want to listen to this audiobook. Each story is told in Twight's taut, in-your-face style. Brand-new epilogues bring each piece full circle, providing updated information and fresh, hindsight perspectives.

Refreshing and authentic alpine stories. His unsweetened way of life is reflected in the author's writing style. Sharing with us his state of mind pushing through tough times allows us to better understand the underside of far-reaching expeditions. If Bukowski had been addicted to the mountain...

Raw

This book doesn’t mess around with alpine fairytales, and instead dives deep into raw accounts from the mountains and the psyche. The cynical viewpoint can be surprisingly refreshing and relatable. I’d highly recommend this book to many climbers - but not all.

Narrator is good.

Real on a different level

Listening to Twight’s egotistical storey telling and pronunciation of french (or any other language) is quite painful. If I had a paper copy of this book, I’d use it as toilette paper on my next multi day trip.

Painful listening

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
Mark Twight's writing is consistently engaging, but the narrator consistently mispronounces lots of things (e.g. he calls the climbing grade 5.11 "five point one one", instead of the correct "five eleven"). Although he has a good reading voice, these mispronunciations are very distracting.

Great story, iffy narration
