Book Description

New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1971. 1st American edition. 8vo. x+334pp. 60 colour plates, 2 maps and a folding map of the ascent. SIGNED ON THE TITLE PAGE BY BONINGTON. Black cloth in very good condition, with a faint thumbprint on the lower section of the rear cover. Fine dust jacket. The climb documents the first ascent of the 12,000 ft South face of Nepal’s Annapurna at extreme altitude. The otherwise successful trip was marred by the death of Ian Clough in an ice avalanche close to the end of the descent. A gripping tale of the new bold approach to high altitude climbing.
