Seven Summits Solo
Reviewer: A reader from New Zealand Peak of a climber's career

7 Summits Solo, (Summit, USA) by Robert Mads Anderson To Everest via Antarctica, Robert Mads Anderson Reviewed by Neil Nelson, The Evening Standard, Wellington, New Zealand Saturday, February 24, 1996

Having spent the past 20 years scaling some of the world's most difficult peaks, American-born Aucklander Robert Anderson set himself a new challenge: to climb the highest peak on each of the world's seven continents.

As an added challenge, he elected to climb them solo.

Ultimately, he failed in his bid, with Everest getting the better of him on two separate occasions. But failure to stand on the top of the world's highest peak doesn't diminish Anderson's achievement or the highly readable accounts he has written of his adventures.

As the price tags would suggest, the two books which have resulted from his seven summits project are totally different.

7 Summits Solo is a large-format, lavishly produced, 160-page volume which includes dozens of superb colour photographs taken by Joe Blackburn during the expedition (Note, nearly all photos in the book are Anderson's).

Anderson's account of the expedition is essentially a précis of the story he tells in To Everest via Antarctica. The 220 page Penguin book (Stackpole Books, USA) contains just a handful of photographs, but includes a far more detailed account of Anderson's adventures.

During the past decade or so, I've read numerous accounts of climbing expeditions: this one rates as one of the best.

Unlike some mountaineers, who feel compelled to describe in minute detail everything they did during the expedition, Anderson concentrates more on the adventures he had actually getting to the mountain.

He admits it is more of a travel book than a book about climbing and that he wrote it for a broader market.

Some chapters have little to do with climbing at all. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in Anderson's descriptions of his travels in Russia, late in 1992, after conquering Mt Elbrus, Europe's highest peak. With Elbrus out of the way, and three weeks left on his Russian visa, Anderson decided the opportunity to see some of Russia was too good an opportunity to miss.

With the Russia of old rapidly being split into a series of new countries, and new border crossings appearing at random, it was decided a large bus would be the easiest way of moving around. One was soon found and with several companions Anderson set off for a fascinating tour of parts of Russia which had seldom seen Western tourists. The tales he relates of his journey make for absorbing and humorous reading.

With a degree in writing and a career spent mainly in the advertising industry - the business he set up in New Zealand and subsequently sold helped fund his seven summits project - Anderson wastes few words. He has an economical, easy-to-read style and knows how to tell a good story.

While the price of 7 Summits Solo means it's unlikely to appear on best-seller lists, To Everest via Antarctica deserves to be. One of the most enjoyable books I read in 1995, I look forward to reading of Anderson's further adventures.


Spirit of Summit County, Colorado: A Photographic Celebration
Published in Hardcover by Prism Light Pr (February, 1996)
Author: Christine Safford Beck
Average review score:

This beautiful book capture the magic of nature, in general!
As one who has spent alot of time in Summit County (and the Rocky Mountains, in general), I find this one-of-a-kind book a beautiful tribute to the area. The magic of these mountains, which have so much to do with my past as well as with who I am today, are captured wonderfully in these photographs. Even if you have never been to Summit County, you will not be able to deny that these powerful images of nature can soothe and comfort, but, at the same time, can be equally exhilarating! Check this one out!


Summit
Published in Paperback by Pocket Books (November, 1989)
Author: D. M. Thomas
Average review score:

A hilarious and scary look at 1980's world politics.
D.M. Thomas, author of the acclaimed White Hotel and Flying into Love here turns his attention to the tense, serious world of international politics, and compleatly makes a mockery of it.

The book centers on the Summits held in the 1980's between the leaders of the USSR and the USA, who are thinly veiled characatures of Reagan and Gorbrechev. The novel has little positive to say about either of them, and generaly terrifies the reader who thinks that all summits run as this one does.

Thomas's book is insightful, readable, and absolutly laugh out loud funny. It is quite possible, in fact, that this is the funniest book I have ever read. It is short, you can read it in one sitting, and you will have a fantastic time doing it. I highly sugest you read this book.
