The Third Pole

In The Third Pole, veteran climber Mark Synnott embarks on a thrilling expedition to Mount Everest during the notoriously perilous 2019 season, known as "the Year Everest Broke." Driven by the century-old mystery of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine, who vanished while attempting to summit in 1924, Synnott grapples with the mountain's seductive dangers and the intense stories of his fellow climbers. As he ventures up the treacherous North Face amidst unforeseen challenges and tragedy, the audiobook explores themes of obsession and the profound human connection to the world's highest peak.
