Although Tibet and Nepal were initially forbidden to explorers so that the elusive peak remained a distant vision through the Himalayan clouds, the challenge captured the imagination of the world's mountaineers.

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS...,
By Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Everest:Struggle To Reach The Top (Hardcover)
This is a nice pictorial history of Mount Everest with accompanying text. While the text is not wholly factually accurate, it does give one a feeling of the tumultuous history surrounding Mount Everest, ever since modern man attempted to scale its heights. The ninety photographs will delight Everest junkies everywhere. Those of Mount Everest, in particular, are spectacular, and alone are worth the price of the book. The photographs, however, are not only of Everest, but are also of those mountaineers who braved the elements to try and unravel its mystery. It is a lovely book which has a place in the library of anyone who is a true Everest aficionado.
