Detailed Product Description
New York, 1964, true 1st edition. 429 pp, 74 illustrations. Hardcover, DJ, Fine. SIGNED by summiters Willi Unsoeld and Tom Hornbein. I do not know who Charles Parmerlee is. Yet. Willi Unsoeld's signature is one of the scarcest and most desirable of all 20th century American climbers, partly for his charismatic effect on people, partly for the incredible Everest climb he and Tom Hornbein did on Everest in 1963, and partly because his signature is scarce, he did not autograph many books and died relatively young. Willi Unsoeld, Tom Hornbein, Lute Jerstad and Barry Bishop spent a night at 28,000 ft on Everest after their climbs. Frostbite cost Willi 9 toes, Bishop lost all his toes and the tip of one finger. In 1963 an American mountain-climbing expedition reached the top of the world's highest peak. It was the fourth expedition to reach the summit. They did it after weeks of exposure to the thin and bitterly cold air of Everest, after climber Jake Breitenbach was crushed under a falling ice wall, and in the teeth of howling winds and snowstorms. Success came first on May 1, when Jim Whittaker and Nawang Gombu gained the summit via the South Col route. This was followed three weeks later by an even more extraordinary feat: four more men made the peak - Lute Jerstad and Barry Bishop by the South Col route and Willi Unsoeld and Tom Hornbein via the West Ridge, which had never been negotiated before. Americans on Everest is an incredibly vivid account of their victories, and now a classic of American mountaineering literature.
