Detailed Product Description
Stuttgart, 1958, 1st edition. 365 pp, photos. In German. One of the most impressive Himalayan ascents of the last century was Austrian party of Marcus Schmuck, Fritz Wintersteller, Kurt Diemberger and Hermann Buhl’s 1957 first ascent of Pakistan’s 8,047 m Broad Peak. This was achieved by a small team without artificial oxygen who ferried all the loads to the high camps.
 
The trip ended with the tragic death of top Austrian climber Hermann Buhl, who fell through a cornice during a reconnaissance of Chogolisa. This is one of the scarcest accounts of the first ascent of an 8000 meter peak; there was no English edition. Essential for a collection of books on the first ascents of the 8000 meter peaks. Hardcover, tiny edge wear in DJ but in excellent and Fine condition overall.
 
SIGNED by Kurt Diemberger who also wrote, "...please compare this account with the authentic report in 'Summits and Secrets'" 2011
