His personal experiences as mountain climber and traveler have enabled him to give a vivid, first-hand account of the lives of the people who dwell in the shadows of the towering pinnacles and the rigors and hardships endured by those who have conqured the treacherous Himalayan peaks." 177 pages, indexed, with photographs and drawings.
