A reissue of a classic mountaineering book first issued in 1954. Gaston Rebuffat is among the best-known Alpinists of all time. He rose to fame as one four principal stalwarts of the first ascent of Annapurna. Yet his finest feat as a mountaineer was to be the first man to climb all six of the legendary great north faces of the Alps – The Grandes Jorasses, The Piz Badile, the Dru, The Matterhorn, the Cima Grande Lavaredo and the Eiger.
