The basis for the new documentary film, Mountain: A Breathtaking Voyage into the Extreme. Combining accounts of legendary mountain ascents with vivid descriptions of his own forays into wild, high landscapes, Robert McFarlane reveals how the mystery of the world's highest places has came to grip the Western imagination--and perennially draws legions of adventurers up the most perilous slopes.
His story begins three centuries ago, when mountains were feared as the forbidding abodes of dragons and other mysterious beasts. In the mid-1700s the attentions of both science and poetry sparked a passion for mountains; Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Lord Byron extolled the sublime experiences to be had on high; and by 1924 the death on Mt Everest of an Englishman named George Mallory came to symbolize the heroic ideals of his day. Macfarlane also reflects on fear, risk, and the shattering beauty of ice and snow, the competition and contemplation of the climb, and the strange alternate reality of high altitude, magically enveloping us in the allure of mountains at every level.

Deep cleans without irritating
My skin feels soft and amazing after using the pore cleansing oil. I use it to do facial massages and then rub away the things clogging my pores. It leaves my face so incredibly smooth and clean. I use the pore minimizer and it feels very nice on the skin, and the pads are good for when you have so me free time for self love.

Can’t say enough love
I got the trio set and I absolutely love this line. My face is so soft and hydrated. It doesn’t irritate it and I have very sensitive skin. This is hands down the best skin care line I have used!
