Reflections on High Places

In 1986, while on a trek in the Himalayan Mountains, adventurer Hugh Morton came face-to-face with Mt. Everest, an event that would dramatically change the course of his life. At 39-years-old, an age when many mountaineers are retiring, Hugh began a 30-year odyssey that would have him climbing major mountains around the world, including Everest and the coveted Seven Summits challenge.



In Reflections On High Places he shares his best memories of some truly incredible mountaineering adventures in a manner that is both entertaining and inspiring. His story is one of persistence, determination, success and sometimes failure in the accomplishment of the goals he set for himself. It is a journey that spans the seven continents from Alaska to Antarctica; from Russia to Nepal. In the process he met some very unique people from distant parts of the world, many of whom have become lifetime friends.
