Out Of Mind by Joe French
In 2015, climber and documentary maker Joe French was about to fulfil a dream of a lifetime – to climb Everest and film it.

Only a few years previously, his team of Sherpa had been killed in another avalanche, and soon after that, Julie, his wife, was diagnosed with cancer.

Running barefoot through the forests and glens around his house in Scotland, Joe discovered the means to find a return to health and peace of mind.
