Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Saethon Williams delivers an electrifying performance in this gripping account of Doug Scott’s ascent of the Ogre, where he and Chris Bonington faced one of mountaineering’s most challenging descents. Williams’ narration is a perfect match for Scott’s intense storytelling; his pacing keeps listeners on edge through the perilous journey. The story isn’t just about the climb but about the psychological battle that unfolds as they face an avalanche. However, at times, the narrative can feel overly repetitive, detailing the same fears and doubts in slightly different ways. Despite this minor critique, 'The Ogre' remains a compelling listen for anyone fascinated by survival tales or mountaineering legends.
