ABOUT
Noyce's climbing on the Lhotse Face opened the route to the South Col, enabling Hillary and Tenzing to reach the summit.
Best account of the first ascent. It is Noyce's attention to detail, mood and impression, and his masterful characterisation of all the members of the party that makes this a unique and intimate account of the expedition and a valuable insight into human nature in extreme conditions. The book also contains nine poems Noyce wrote on the expedition at various altitudes up to 24,000 feet.
Well illustrated with monochrome and colour images, and pencil sketches.
Illustrated end papers.
CONDITION
No dust jacket—first 3 images for illustrative purposes only.
Immaculate with only light wear on covers, and faint spotting inside covers and page edges. Images depict all need to know detail.
