Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

A firsthand account of this mountaineering expedition up this Nepalese mountain. It is the seventh highest mountain in the world, and the highest mountain within the borders of a single country. 

Prior to this expedition there were four unsuccessful attempts at the peak. 

Translated into English from the original German by E Noel Bowman. 

With the original dustwrapper, which is price-clipped. 

Illustrated with photographs of the expedition by members. For this work Eiselin has supplemented his own impressions of the climb by the reports of his friends and companions on the ascent, Ernst Saxer, Peter Diener, Ernst Forrer and Albin Schelbert.
