Descripción

Fourth Edition. A copy with fine provenance, coming from the library of Eric Roberts, the famed climber who died in an avalanche on Annapurna. with 24 illustrations, primarily from the author's photographs on double-sided glossy plates with captions. 8vo, original navy blue cloth lettered on the spine in white, and in the publisher's dustjacket. xiv, 368 pp. An essentially fine copy with just a hint of edge mellowing.

Edizione: a copy with fine provenance. along with being president of the alpine club the author was also an accomplished poet and he brings a poet's sensibilities to this continuous account of the great ascents made by him in the alps. it conveys the ever-changing charms of the alps themselves along with the changing outlook of the mountaineer.
