This work presents the enthralling account, by the leader of the French
\nexpedition, of the first conquest of Annapurna – at that time, and at more
\nthan 8000 metres, the highest mountain ever climbed. It is a story of
\nbreathtaking courage and determination against appalling odds. In records of
\nmountaineering, in tales of human endeavour, there is nothing so unforgettable
\nas the account of the descent by the triumphant but frost-bitten men, after
\nthe monsoon had broken, through the flooded valleys of Nepal. As well as an
\nintroduction by Joe Simpson, this new edition includes 16 pages of
\nphotographs, which provide a remarkable visual record of this legendary
\nexpedition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
