Cuntas é Rince ar na Ballaí ar eachtraí sléibhteoireachta agus dreapadóireachta Somers sna hAlpa agus sna Himiléithe, agus ar thuras dá chuid sa Sahára le camaill agus conair ársa na ndíoltóirí salainn á leanúint acu. Tá grianghraif áille lándaite scaipthe go flúirseach tríd an leabhar. Tá saothar foilsithe ag Dermot cheana féin i mBéarla ach is é Rince ar na Ballaí a chéad leabhar i nGaeilge

Rince ar na Ballaí is an account of Somers’ mountaineering and exploring exploits in the Alps and the Himalayas and also recounts one of his trips by camel across the Sahara, following the ancient route of the salt-traders. The book is lavishly illustrated with full colour photography. Although Dermot Somers has published previously in English, Rince ar na Ballaí is his first book in the Irish language and a pioneering project by publishers Cois Life.
