In 1982, following the relaxation of the Chinese access restrictions to Tibet, six climbers set off to explore the little-known Shisha Pangma massif near the Nepalese border. Starting from Beijing, in the throes of it's post-Maoist evolution, they moved on to Tibet, where they witnessed a country under military rule. After overcoming bureaucratic obstacles they gained access to Shisha Pangma's unclimbed South-West Face and the remote approach valley that had been identified during earlier exploratory probes from Nepal. A series of taxing acclimatisation climbs followed which soon revealed the disparate nature of the party with the accompanying tensions. These events and the story of how the three strongest team members (Scott, Maclntyre and Baxter-Jones) went on to make one of the most audacious and stylish ascents ever achieved are recounted in this tense and candid book. Published in 1984 as The Shishapangma Expedition, it won the first Boardman Tasker Literary Award.

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
