classic story of the exped in 1963, Hornbein’s text is accented by 48 superb
\nphotos!<\/p>\n
In one of mountaineering’s greatest adventure stories, Tom Hornbein tells of
\nhis and Willi Unsoeld’s dramatic first ascent of Everest’s West Ridge-a route
\nthat had been dismissed as hopeless by all previous expeditions. Part of the
\nfirst successful American expedition, Hornbein and Unsoeld ascended beyond the
\npoint of no return to make the summit, and were then forced to bivouac at
\n28,000 feet without food, shelter, or oxygen.<\/p>\n
The story of their climb and survival is unforgettably told in Everest: The
\nWest Ridge. The accomplishment has taken its place in the history of Himalayan
\nmountaineering and this account is now among the classics of mountaineering
\nliterature. In this third edition, Hornbein’s sensitive text is accented by 48
\npages of superb photos, a foreword by Everest veteran Doug Scott, and
\nintroduction by Will Siri, with a new preface by the author.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
