Detailed Product Description
New York, 1966, 1st Am edition. 174 pp, 40 b&w and color photos, glossary. [Neate G28; the 1966 UK edition was titled Eiger Direct.] Original blue cloth hardcover, with dust jacket. Book and DJ are Fine. This copy is SIGNED by Layton Kor and Chris Bonington on the title page. One of the most famous climbs, and climbing books. The story of the notorious Eiger Direct climb with Harlin and Bonington. Layton Kor was also a member of the expedition. Only Haston completed the North Face climb and reached the summit. Though the Eiger is not a particularly high or beautiful mountain, its forbidding North Face has presented one of the greatest challenges to mountaineers. In the course of the years, it has claimed no less than 27 victims - including John Harlin (who lead a British-American team with Dougal Haston, one of this book's authors). This is the story of that climb. Following the death of John Harlin who fell 4000 feet to his death, the remainder of his team under Dougal Haston joined with a German team to climb the North Face of the Eiger.
