Detailed Product Description

London, 1981, 1st UK edition. 578 pp, 72 photos, some in color, maps. This is THE book to buy for all details of every Everest ascent and attempt, names, dates, deaths, etc. Thick hardcover, DJ, Near Fine. SIGNED by Chris Bonington, who has led more Everest expeditions than anyone, plus Kurt Diemberger who climbs Everest and six other 8000 meter peaks inclduing K2.

Beginning with the early exploration in and around the mountain, Walt Unsworth provides a detailed and fascinating account of all the attempts on the peak until its eventual first ascent, then continues with further accounts of the major milestone ascents and accomplishments that followed. A list of ascentionists (and fatalities) takes us up to 1981.

The wealth of information makes fascinating reading nevertheless, with Audrey Salkeld giving her encyclopeadic contribution as usual! Written in a refreshing, non-technical style, the armchair mountaineer will reap as much enjoyment from the wealth of detail and drama that unfolds, as will the modern-day climber who has an interest in the history of Chomolungma, the 'Goddess Mother of the World'.
