Detailed Product Description

New York, 1895, 1st Am edition. 306 pp, 100+ ill by the author, map. TEG. A.D. McCormick, one of the greatest mountaineering artists, accompanied Conway on his 1892 exploration of the Hispar and Baltoro glaciers in the Karakoram. This is his own account of that expedition. Original gray cloth with decorated cover and spine, edges rubbed. A handsome volume, Very Good. 

In 1892, in the course of an exploring and mountaineering expedition undertaken under the auspices of the Royal Society, the Royal Geographical Society and the British Association, Martin Conway made an ascent of a subsidiary summit of Baltoro Kangri, claiming a world altitude record with a height of 23,000 ft (7,010 m). However, subsequent measurements have revised his height to 22,322 ft (6,804 m).
