A gripping recollection of an expedition to Nanda Devi in 1934. Shipton and Tilman were the first to venture into the Nanda Devi sanctuary through penetrating the difficult Rishi Gorge, and this tale follows the team from their first preparations in London to the routes from Badrinath to Gaumukh and Kedarnath, as well as a second trip to explore the Nanda Devi Basin. The book also summarizes previous attempts on the peak.
