You'll be transported into the oxygen-scarce zones of extreme mountaineering while reading these accounts of some of the world's greatest climbs.

  • Edited by: Jon E. Lewis
  • Softcover; 497 pages
  • Carroll and Graf Publishers; copyright 2001
  • These 25 first-hand accounts on the peaks and "big walls" of four continents span an arc in time from the golden Victorian age to present
  • This volume explores the furthest reaches of human daring and endurance

    Among the accounts included are:
  • Walter Bonatti - the tragic attempt on the Central Pillar of Freney on Mont Blanc, which left four of his seven-man party dead in the snow
  • Maurice Herzog - his unstoppable ascent of Annapurna at the cost of his frost-bitten fingers
  • George Leigh Mallory - surviving an avalanche on the 1922 Everest expedition
  • Rene Desmaison - his epic account of 14 days stuck on The Grandes Jorasses in winter
  • Hermann Buhl - the first tentless bivouac at 8000m
  • Robert Bates - the classic account of the ill-fated, 1953 American expedition to K2
  • Jon Krakauer - recalling his 1977 solo ascent of the Devil's Thumb in Alaska

Imported.
