Sobre este artículo
London; (1947): Hodder & Stoughton. Small Octavo. 5th (black jacket edition). 254 pages, index. Hugh Ruttledge led an expedition once the Tibetan government finally granted permission. Besides the two page map, there are 10 photographs showing Camps I-IV and when they reached 22,800 feet. Though there had been several attempts in the 1920's, the 1933 was the first major attempt which showed how future attempts would have to be planned differently. By 1950, Nepal began to allow expeditions. A fascinating look at what was happening 20 years before Sir Edmund Percival Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers to ascend to Everest's summit. Bound in gray cloth decorated in blind, spine lettering black, in unclipped pictorial dust jacket, which has off-set to the front cover, rubbed and with some wear to spine ends and corners.
