Detailed Product Description
London, 1969, 1st edition. 220 pp, b/w photos, appendix, index. Original brown cloth hardcover, dust jacket, Fine condition. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED by Michael Gill. This copy was a gift from the author to a Bailey Howell who probably had worked on building a school or clinic with Edmund Hillary and Michael Gill. Dated January 1970. This is an autobiography of a New Zealand-born mountaineer. Gill is a New Zealand doctor who traveled to Ama Dablam and Makalu with Hillary in 1960-61 and to Kangtega in 1963. Quote from Ed Hillary's foreword: 'If an antarctic blizzard is trying to demolish your tent or you're camped on an uncomfortable ledge at 20,000 ft and don't know whether to go up or down . . . then Mike is a magnificent companion. He'll cook any meal, do any miserable job that needs doing, and if you feel like mental stimulation he'll argue any abstruse point you want � then drop off to sleep like a baby and let the blizzard rage on.' - Ed Hillary Neate G25: Climbing memoirs of a New Zealand doctor, physiologist and mountaineer. He was a member of some of Hillary's expeditions, climbing Ama Dablam. Taweche and Kangtega. Includes chapters on the Darran Mountains in New Zealand.
