Published by Hodder and Stoughton London, 1976, 1st UK Edition, D/w, Fine.   From the library of Geoff Milburn with his signature.  The New Zealand attempt in the post-monsoon period of late 1975 on the unclimbed and very severe North Face of Jannu – Guido Magnone on his 1957 reconnaissance of the mountain wrote “It consists entirely of horrific hanging glaciers and vertical snow-cluttered walls.
