2000s: The competitive and dark, dark world of mountain climbing….
Breathless
What you need to know before your trail
When struggling journalist Cecily Wong is invited to join an expedition to climb one of the world’s tallest mountains, it seems like the chance of a lifetime.
She doesn’t realise how deadly the climb will be.
As their small team starts to climb, things start to go wrong. There’s a theft. Then an accident. Then a mysterious note, pinned to her tent: there’s a murderer on the mountain.
The higher they get, the more dangerous the climb becomes, and the more they need to trust one another.
And that’s when Cecily finds the first body . . .

Manaslu is the eighth-highest mountain in the world at 8,163 metres above sea level. It is in the Mansiri Himal, part of the Nepalese Himalayas. The name Manaslu means “mountain of the spirit” and is derived from the Sanskrit word manasa, meaning “intellect” or “soul”.
This is the mountain which is the focus of so many emotions and fierce competition amongst the mountaineers. One man is attempting to climb the tallest mountain in the world and to a tight deadline under certain conditions. You get to climb with the party on the mountain find out how to use the equipment, find out what can and does go wrong, come across other climbers and what to do when you come across a body.
It’s tightly paced and you can feel the power of the mountain.
