An excellent travel account

David Adams is an amazing explorer. His feat of conquering all the seven summits and both the poles is extra ordinary. It ranks amongst the best travel books ever written. His narration is lucid, but strking. He travels with a Norwegian and their struggle in conversing with each other provides a dash of humor. If you liked 'Into Thin Air', you will fall for this one as well.
