Book Launch - Race to the Top of the World with Peter Fitzsimons

Last century, two men, thirty years apart, set out to become the first to conquer the highest point in the world. Their names are synonymous with adventure - George Mallory and Edmund Hillary. One travelled from England, the other New Zealand, both seeking to test human endurance and defeat the most extreme elements on earth - blasting winds, vicious vertical ascents, lack of oxygen and freezing temperatures that could kill in minutes. 

A captivating story of adventure, daring, despair and triumph from Australia's favourite storyteller.
