Two weeks after Whittaker's achievement, Tom Hornbein and Willi Unsoeld, fellow American mountaineers on the same expedition, became the first climbers ever to summit the world's highest peak via the dangerous and forbidding West Ridge -- a route on which only a handful of climbers have since succeeded. This special 50th anniversary edition reintroduces the adventure in a larger format with 150 full-color photographs by members of the expedition, including leader Norman G. Dyhrenfurth and team doctor Jim Lester. In addition to a new foreword by Jon Krakauer, this volume also features a new preface by Tom Hornbein along with a series of prefaces he wrote for earlier editions, including the original from 1965, and a map by Dee Molenaar. Updated biographies of all the American Mount Everest Expedition team members, written by climber Broughton Coburn, are now accompanied by contemporary portraits from the expedition. Not only did Hornbein play a crucial role in one of the most extraordinary accomplishments in the history of mountaineering, his account of the feat is one of the finest things ever written about this peculiar, hazardous, and uncommonly engaging pursuit. - Jon Krakauer About the Author St. Louis-born Thomas Hornbein has been an avid mountaineer since his early teens, and his climbing adventures range from Washington and Colorado to Pakistan, Nepal, China, and Africa. He was professor and chair of the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine from 1978 to 1993. Today the retired physician lives with his family in Estes Park, Colorado, and is a scientific adviser for Colorado University's Altitude Research Center. Hornbein continues to climb on local crags.
