Kingdoms of Experience: Everest, the Unclimbed Ridge Tapa blanda - 2002

de Andrew Greig


Descripción de contraportada

With an introduction by Chris Bonington

"A classic in mountaineering literature." Geographical Magazine

In March 1985, Mal Duff led a new expedition to conquer Everest by the unclimbed north-east ridge. The last attempt by a Chris Bonington team had ended in failure and tragedy - with the deaths of two great climbers, Joe Tasker and Pete Boardman.

Everyone knew the risks as well as the excitement of the challenge. In this extraordinary book, short-listed for the Boardman-Tasker Awards, Greig chronicles not only the assault on the peak but also the complex inter-relationships of nineteen very different personalities living together, yet each very much alone.

"Allows us privileged insights into the minds of these adventurers ... Canongate have chosen well in re-issuing this important mountaineering journal." The Herald
"A wonderful, gritty expedition book." Chris Bonington
