About

Mountaineering legend Hillary recollects the bravery and frustration, the agony and glory that marked his Everest odyssey.

From the 1951 expedition that led to the discovery of the Southern Route, through the grueling training of 1952, and on to the successful 1953 expedition, Hillary conveys in precise language the mountain's unforgiving conditions.

In explicit detail he recalls an Everest where chaotic icefalls force costly detours, unstable snow ledges promise to avalanche at the slightest misstep, and brutal weather shifts from pulse-stopping cold to fiendish heat in mere minutes.

Includes monochrome images and illustrations, maps.
