Hunt gives a detailed account of his 1953 ascent to the summit, discussing
\nplanning and preparation, the motivations behind the attempt, and factors that
\ncontributed to the two mens` success. This edition carries a new foreword by
\nthe author. Includes photos.
\nTheir achievement provided one answer to the many questions about high-
\naltitude survival which had been asked from the beginning of the century.
\nTheir climb was the culmination of a siege-style effort in the expedition led
\nby Sir John Hunt. Indeed, it provided the blueprint for the first ascents of
\nthe majority of the remaining 800 metre peaks through the next decade. Today
\nEverest has been climbed by all its formidable ridges and each of its great
\nfaces. It has been climbed without supplementary oxygen, it had been soloed
\nand parapented off. But the original ascent remains a classic story of
\nexploring new thresholds and reaching out to achieve the highest point in the
\nworld.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
