Detailed Product Description

Japan, 1973, 1st edition. 43 pp, 33 photos. Text in Japanese and English, summary in English. This large Japanese expedition made the 15th ascent of Everest in October 1973, and the first autumn ascent ever. They also attempted the South West Face of Everest, later climbed by the British party, but turned back at 8380 meters due to high winds.

Two climbers and two sherpas did climb to the summit via the normal, South Col route. This was the first successful Autumn ascent of Everest. Paperback pamphlet, complete with original clear cellophane dust jacket, and one page addendum inserted. Fine. Very scarce.

References: Yakushi 2nd ed item j792; Baume Sivalaya Paperback Page 101; Neate 2nd ed item R61 on Page 135.

Also, a summary from the From Himalayan Journal No 34:

EVEREST : The Preliminary Report of the Japanese Expedition to Mt. Everest (8848m.), 1973. Rock Climbing Club, Japan.

In about 50 pages the post-monsoon expedition of 1973 is told in Japanese when the Japanese of the Rock Climbing Club (Tokyo) reached 8380 m. on the southwest face of Everest and achieved it�s first ascent in the post-monsoon via the southeastern ridge.

12 pages in black-and-white are also subtitled in English. These photographers are above all of great documentary value and snow on the whole wintry conditions. Some telephotographs one wishes to be published have later on enlarged as they also show other mountains of the world (Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Kangchenjunga etc.) in this season (October-November). At the end of the volume follows a chronological list in English and a list of all the members including Sherpas.

The autumn expedition 1973 was again a grand Japanese achievement on Everest.
For short report in English, see Sangaku 1974, pages 21-27 (at the beginning) Southwest Face of Everest, 1973 by expedition leader Michio Yuasa.
