London, 1958, 1st edition. 150 pp, 25 b/w and one color illustrations. Blue cloth hardcover with gilt titles on spine. DJ and book are Fine. British first ascent of Machapuchare in 1957. Account of the five-man Himalayan expediton of 1957 to climb Machapuchare, Nepalese for the Fish's Tail, a 22,958 peak in Nepal which the author described as the most difficult and spectacular mountain that he had been on.
