Description

Published by Crown Publishers New York, 2011, 1st US Edition, D/w, Fine.   Signed by the Author.   Ed Viesturs was the first American to climb all 14 Eight-Thousanders, between 1989 and 2005.  He found Annapurna I to be the most challenging, even though it was the first Eight-Thousander to be climbed – this volume chronicles his 3 attempts on the mountain, as well as the history of climbs on the mountain since the first ascent in 1950 by the French.  Viesturs’ previous books, also in collaboration with David Roberts, were No Shortcuts to the Top and K2.
