PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Subtitled A history of Himalayan Mountaineering from the Age of Empire to the Age of Extremes, this book chronicles the many climbs and the teams of climbers who made them. Particularly attentive to the spirit of fellowship that once existed between climbers, the authors lament the recent shift of mountaineering from a team sport to an individual race. With maps and many illustrations.
