ABOUT
A history of climbing and mountaineering in New Zealand.
A collection of vivid historical narratives, personal anecdotes, and profiles outlining the exploration of deep gorges, sheer rock faces, and high-altitude rescues across both the North and South Islands.
The text focuses heavily on how the extreme environmental conditions of the Southern Alps served as a rigorous global training ground. Because the New Zealand permanent snow and ice line sits roughly 3,000 feet lower than that of the European Alps, regional climbers faced far more volatile, fast-moving glaciers and frequent rockfalls, preparing them perfectly for major Himalayan expeditions.
Illustrated with monochrome images and maps.

Excellent with only light wear on just jacket and marks on end papers.
