Writer Sarah Cuddon reflects on her fascination with mountains, and how other writers and climbers, from Wordsworth to Andrew Greig, have felt about 'the ascent'.

Writer Sarah Cuddon has always been drawn to the mountains - in childhood, to her grandfather's house in the Pyrenees, and as an adult to peaks in more remote and dangerous locations including the Andes and Himalayas.

She reflects on this fascination and how writers and climbers, from Wordsworth to Andrew Greig, Joe Simpson to Robert Macfarlane, have felt about 'the ascent'.

With music by Clogs, Baka Beyond and Anton Bruckner.
