300pp. Illustrated – photographs (some in colour), maps, charts, tables. Indexed. Blue cloth boards (just a little rubbed at corners and spine ends). Previous owner’s inscription and a few marks on endpapers only, else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. This is the story of how two men, in May 1953, inspired by an unflinching resolve, reached the top of Mount Everest and came back unscathed to join their comrades at base camp. It is also the story of how men and mountaineers, over the preceding 30 or so years, had tried unsuccessfully to achieve the same thing.
