Twenty years ago Julie Tullis became the first British woman to reach the summit of K2. Caught in bad weather during the descent, she never made it down. Then, last year, one of her diary tapes was found on a Himalayan glacier, an audio document of a previous expedition that brings to life the hardship, the dangers and the fascination of the high peaks. This is Julie's story, told through the lost-and-found voice on her expedition cassettes and interviews with her climbing partner Kurt Diemberger , ner husband Terry and children Chris and Lindsay. Producer Sara Parker Repeated from Sunday at 1.30pm
