Detailed Product Description

2000. 322 pp, 45 ills. This 1982 expedition made an Alpine-style ascent of this 8000 meter peak. Long out of print, this has become collectible so this high quality reprint is most welcome. New Paperback.

* Past winner of the Boardman Tasker Award for Mountaineering Literature

* Includes a climbing history of Shisha Pangma
* Illustrated with black and white photos throughout
 
This adventure classic captures everything from the historical to the deeply personal in a gripping account of an ambitious first ascent of the Southwest Face of Shisha Pangma. As Alex MacIntyre describes it, To climb it became an ambition, but not just to climb it, we had to make the ascent with style, as light, as fast, as uncluttered as we dared, free from umbilical cords and logistics, with none of the traditional trappings of a Himalayan climb. The wall was the ambition, the style became the obsession.

Placing the expedition into a historical context, Doug Scott presents a wealth of historical detail about the region while Alex MacIntyre provides a unique commentary on the big peak way of life-from the frenzied preparations to the clashes of personality, the affection, and the humor.
