It was very popular and sold to South Africa and the BBC.
A reviewer from Wireless Weekly wrote: "The action was rather bitsy; necessarily so, covering, as it did, so many isolated attacks on the mountain. The commentators. Max Osbiston and Eric Masters, covered a great part of the story
and told it very effectively. I thought the Voice of the Mountain had a little too much competition from the blizzard... it was an excellent play, capably produced by Lawrence Cecil. The intricate effects — blizzards, avalanches, human cries from the abysses, etc. — were realistically handled."
