About This Item
Beautiful copy of the first edition of this important work. This book makes an outstanding read, with the narrative accompanied by color photographs that help show the complexities of the route and the effort required to reach the top of the world;'s second highest peak.
The 1978 expedition was the first American ascent of the peak long considered tyo be America's peak in the Himalaya. The writing ios excellent.
The book is fine or better, one owner. the dust jacet is unusually nice for a jacket that almost ALWAYS show heavy wear and damage. One small closed tear, very minimal wear.
