This work, essentially an interactive visual poem. sets out to express the human experience and spiritual gains from time spent in the world’s greatest mountain ranges through the use of photographs, music and words.

The range of images aims to express the enormous breadth of experiences and vistas witnessed in these wild locations.

From the harmonious and healing properties of being above the clouds to the extreme conditions and emotions of world mountaineering.
