It is primarily a photo essay of the Japanese mountaineering expeditions to Manaslu from reconnaissance in 1952 through the first ascent in 1956. This is one of the most desirable books on Manaslu and on a first ascent of an 8000-meter peak. With a summit at 8163 meters, Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain on earth. It is located in the Nepal Himalaya in the Gandaki Section of the Gurkha Himal. The name means mountain of the spirit. One of the first westerners to explore it was H.W. Tilman in 1950, but his expedition did little more than photograph the mountain since they weren't prepared to climb such a big, remote peak. In 1952 the Japanese made a reconnaissance of the mountain, and then sent big expeditions until finally making the first ascent in 1956. Manaslu Timeline 1950 - H W. Tilman made a reconnaissance of Manaslu and believed there was a potential route to the top via the northeast. 1952 - Japanese reconnaissance party reached 5275 m/17,300' on the east side. 1953 - First attempt made by a Japanese team of 15 climbers to summit via the Northeast face.
