About This Item
E. P. Dutton, NY, 1960. Very Good. 8vo, hardcover. Vg+ condition in vg dj. Dust jacket moderately rubbed and edgeworn, covers and contents clean, no marking or writing. Binding square and tight. 240 pp., illus., includes often missing folding map-photograph, laid in at rear.
Synopsis
The White Spider dramatically recreates not only the harrowing, successful ascent made by Harrer and his comrades in 1938, but also the previous, tragic attempts at a wall of rock that was recently enshrined in mountaineer Jon Krakauer's first work, Eiger Dreams. For a generation of American climbers, The White Spider has been a formative book--yet it has long been out-of-print in America. This edition awaits discovery by Harrer's new legion of readers.
