Very interesting to read a true account and amazing to find out how much preparation and planning goes into an expedition, reaching his goal, and then the short window of opportunity he has to achieve it. The hours of training in the gym to be fit, double checking you have all the right equipment, because without it it could mean death, and the worst thing of all meals and the lack of toilet facilities.
