Detailed Product Description

Toyama/Kyoto, Toyama Himalaya Expedition, 1969, 1st edition. 68 + 168 pp, 4 color, 64 b/w photos. Story of the first ascent of Gurja Himalaya (also known as Dhaulashiri), which is the lowest major peak of the Dhaulagiri group.

At 7193m (23,599'), it was higher than many unclimbed Himalayan Peaks, and a worthy expedition objective, with more chance of success in 1969 than the 8000m peaks, which had all just been climbed anyway. The summit of the peak was reached on Nov 1, 1969, very late in the season for a Nepalese Peak.

As is now standard in Japanese expedition accounts, this book is lavishly illustrated with color and b/w photos, is medium format (9'x7'). In Japanese, and has an excellent English Language summary. Yakushi 2nd ed j746, Neate Y02. Being protected by a clear plastic dust wrapper, the book has remainded clean, bright and Fine over the last 41 years!.
