Description

Published by The Oxford Illustrated Press, 1987, 1st UK Edition, D/w, Fine.   In 1976, highly experienced mountaineer John Roskelley joined an American expedition to climb Nanda Devi in India. The story of that tragic climb, told with sensitivity and passion, is the subject of this controversial and long-awaited book.  The expedition was led by Willi Unsoeld and included his daughter Nanda Devi Unsoeld who was determined to climb the mountain after which she was named – however, she died on the expedition, creating controversy over whether someone so inexperienced should have been allowed onto the team.
