Description

Published by Unwin Hyman, London, 1989, 1st UK Edition, D/w, Fine.   The peaks of the Himalaya, Karakoram and Central Asia are the highest in the world, hence they hold a perennial fascination for climbers.  While much has been written about the 8,000 metre peaks, this was the first essential reference to the 7,000 metre peaks, of which there are over 400 known between 7,000 and 8,000 metres. An excellent reference work, this provides detailed summaries of locations, access, routes and bibliography, with illustrations, sketch maps and histories of explorations and ascents to date.
