About this audiobook
Together with guide Subash and porter Nima, Gordon tackles high passes in excess of 5,400 meters (17,700 feet) and explains how high altitude affects a mildly overweight road builder from sea level in the tropics. Each part of the journey brings new challenges, including sub-freezing temperatures, almost falling into a crevasse, and alarmingly warm beer. Along the way he discovers the local Kukri Rum, traverses glaciers, interacts with eccentric and curious characters, and takes in the most beautiful views on the planet.
Contains mature themes.

Gordon Alexander’s third book, Still More Rhymes and Reflections, continues to address words from an oblique point of view. With so much of the poetry written as free verse today, rhyming seems a welcome exception. In addition, Gordon has incorporated double rhyming in the cadence of his poems. Many feature words that rhyme within a sentence, as well as its end. This is meant to enhance the reader’s appreciation of rhyming. Words spoken in anger are especially mean, They leave wounds that won’t heal while remaining unseen. PoBoy Proverb
