Kim Logan is a climber and mountaineer who has summited some of the tallest and most difficult peaks in the world including Mt Everest and K2. He's pushed himself to the limit, lost many friends and climbing mates in accidents, and been involved in dramatic mountain rescues. But Kim Logan says writing his memoir has been harder than any mountain he's climbed. It's an unflinching account of a brutal childhood, devoid of love.
His father was a WW2 hero, Māori Battalion commander, the first Māori to go to the elite military academy Sandhurst, an opera singer, and linguist. His mother was a socialite - who had little time for Kim or his older brother Wilfred.
Called A Journey Between Two Worlds, Kim Logan writes about how he found solace in the natural world.
