Seattle and London: The Mountaineers/Baton Wicks, 2000.. 8vo. (15 x 22.7 cm). pp. xviii+ 789. Original blue boards, gilt lettering to spine, pictoral dust-jacket. With 70 plates, of which 18 colour-printed. 5 maps. An excellent copy, as new. Everest: The Mountaineering History is more than a catalog of daring events by brave men. It seeks to explain why success or failure came about. It shows how mountaineers have overcome storms and high altitude as well as the human condition. For even in an era when big money, commercial guiding, and changing attitudes have had a profound effect on events, there have also been grand displays of the highest principles of mountain tradition. With extensive appendices, radically revised and updated, this is a book no lover of mountain adventure can be without.
