As much as real paper, type on the page, and the feel of a good book will always be something special, sometimes that digital edition – the instant, in your hands readability of a tale from the heights is quicker and more accessible.
And it does save on trees, printing, shipping and storing – all that you will have is the pure story.

The American Edition of my book, Nine Lives – Expeditions to Everest is now available online. With one click ordering, you can start reading it in seconds.
If you want to gift it digitally, that simply takes one click on the right of the page under “buy for others” and you can gift it, with a personal message and have it delivered immediately, or on any date you choose.
If you prefer a podcast, we have that as well.
Should you still prefer to have a hard copy, the edition is available now from Vertebrate Publishing in the UK with shipping to anywhere in the world.
And once you have a read, should you be so inclined, reviews are always welcome.
Should you just happen to want to climb Everest yourself, why not go to the North side with me in 2026? Far fewer climbers, the opportunity to visit Tibet and a style and approach for climbers, not high altitude tourists, to climb together as a team to the top of the world.
