New York, 1986, 1st edition The author spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in a remote mountain village of Nepal and then set off to climb Pharchamo, 20,580 feet high. Hardcover DJ, New.
Seen from the pass the mountain is an attractive but straightforward snow peak with a well defined north by north-west ridge rising from the relatively flat, crevassed glacier astride the Tesi Lapche. To the west of the ridge the face forms a uniform snow slope broken by crevasses and small seracs rising from the rocky lower buttresses above the Drolambau Glacier.
