Description
Published by The Mountaineers Books, Seattle, 2000, 1st US Edition, D/w, Fine. Signed by the author on the title page. Since the successful 1950 French Expedition made the first ascent of an 8,000 metre peak, Annapurna I, putting Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal on the summit, the mountain has been the scene of many mountaineering epics and developments. This volume, published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first ascent, provides a detailed history of climbing on Annapurna in that period, including Bonington’s South Face Expedition (1970), Loretan and Joos’ traverse (1984) and Messner’s own ascent of the Northwest Face (1985), as well as a complete listing of all expeditions and ascents.
