An enthralling journey of courage and endurance' Joanna Lumley

20th anniversary edition

Foreword by HH the Dalai Lama

Introduction by Joanna Lumley

In 1999, driven by the desire to address the plight of the Tibetan nation, Tess Burrows decided to climb to the point furthest from the centre of the Earth to broadcast thousands of peace messages she had collected from people of all ages.

Gathering together a small expedition team, including Mig, a young Tibetan refugee who had never climbed a mountain before, Tess set off on her spiritual mountaineering mission. She recounts her inner and outer journeys, including the multiple synchronicities that seemed to validate her quest in mysterious ways.

For Tess, it becomes a struggle of body and mind, as she is symbolically compelled towards the highest point within herself.

Tess Burrows is a peace activist, climbing instructor, healer, motivational speaker and grandmother. After taking a degree in ecological science from Edinburgh University, she moved to Australia to grow trees. By the time she returned to the UK, she was the single mother of three young boys. In 1990, she started adventuring in order to raise funds for projects close to her heart. Eight years later, with her partner Pete Hammond, she founded Climb For Tibet, to gather peace messages to declaim from high places. The charity has now raised more than £150,000, mainly for building schools in Tibet.
