ABOUT
In this exciting memoir, Hugh Ruttledge brings to life the fourth British Mount Everest expedition. Ruttledge led a team of fifteen men up the mountain in 1933, and though the group failed to reach the summit, their attempt is recognized as an important milestone in the history of Everest climbing. It is believed that their critical mistake was setting up camp on May 20th, a day that had uniquely good weather. Notably, the expeditioners came across the ice-axe of Andrew Irvine, one of two climbers who were lost on the 1924 British attempt, which helped establish where and how the two died.
