Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. "Climbing Everest by a route no man had ever tried before. Knowing that they could not reach the summit with time to get down. Knowing that the route they chose did not allow them to turn back or retreat. "Hornbein never admits it in this book, but he had to know that death was more probable than survival. It is an achievement in mountaineering that is in many ways unrivaled for its sheer audacity and, unless you are a climbing aficionado, largely unknown." [Neate H112: First ascent of the West Ridge and traverse down normal route] This book is the condensation of personal notes and interviews with expedition members, most notably Thomas Hornbein, MD who also was Professor and Chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington from 1978 to 1993. This book was designed and edited by David Ross Brower (1912?2000), who was a prominent environmentalist, mountaineer and the founder of many environmental organizations as well as serving as the first Executive Director of the Sierra Club. Norman Gunther Dyhrenfurth (1918 - 2017) was a German-Swiss-American mountaineer and filmmaker. He was the leader of this successful American Mount Everest Expedition of 1963, which placed six climbers on the summit. Paperbound book features many color photographs & maps to enhance narrative. Paperback cover shows little use, small reading creases in sunburnt spine does not affect legibility of print on spine. Interior is tight, clean and, aside from late 1960's dated inscription inside front of book, unmarked. Copyrights 1968 & 1966. Manufactured in U.S.A.
