This week鈥檚 edition of Something Understood is presented by the writer Sarah Cuddon.

Since childhood visits to her grandfather鈥檚 remote house in the Pyrenees, Sarah has been drawn to mountain landscapes - and the people who climb them.

In this programme, called The Ascent, her own experiences in the Himalayas, the Andes and the Scottish Highlands are interwoven with the words of the climbers Joe Simpson and Robert Macfarlane, the poets Ted Hughes and William Wordsworth, and music by Delius, Grieg and the Cameroon group Baka Beyond.
