Wien, 1978, 1st Austrian edition. 296 pp, 75 color & b/w photos, 2 maps. In German. This is the account of the 1978 Austrian Everest expedition to which Messner and Habeler were attached when they did their oxygen-less ascent of Everest. This book is of course much scarcer than either Messner’s or Habeler’s, both of which were best sellers. DJ, Fine.
