2002 [1922]. 356 pp, photos, maps. This is the official account of the first official Everest Expedition (that of 1921). The expedtion managed to reach the North col and discovered the route to the top. The discovery of the Rongbuk Glacier route en route to the North col and other northern approaches to Everest makes this one of the most important books about the mountain. The main text in the book was written by Howard-Bury, the leader of the expedition, and the book includes appendices from other members of the team as well.

The other two books (also published in India, are: The Assault on Mount Everest 1922 and The Fight for Everest: 1924. As New paperback.
