Not to be missed. Fluent, richly informative, starkly dramatic. Excellent on aspects of WWI, Tibetan history and culture, and (of course) the 3 British expeditions to Everest. None of these topics is new, but Davis builds something rich and (occasionally) strange out of it all.
Some filler here & there, along with some of his finest work (which is saying something, I think). Entirely solo, with superior sound reproduction. When it comes together (tracks 1, 2, 13, 14, 15), it's about as good as you're going to find.
