There is an unnecessary amount of commentary written on the pages by the previous owner of this book. Disappointed with my copy. To the seller, don’t bother sending these out. Nobody wants to read a book that’s had paragraphs of distracting markings made in it.

a great and detailed read of not only the experience of the climb but all the planning and execution of that plan to attain the summit...and then the consequences of challenging mother nature on her terms...

Very well written, lots of adventure. I have had to keep in mind that it was written more than 50 years ago, because some of the cultural aspects are disturbing to someone from 2016--the native people are definitely 2nd class and taken advantage of, but that is the reality of history. There is nothing about interpersonal conflicts within the group, but lots of battling the elements, and rather nasty frostbite operations.

I purchased this book after summiting Mt. Rainier with Ed Viesturs. Ed told me, during our climb, this was the book that inspired him to dedicate his life to mountaineering and becoming the first American to summit all 14 of the 8,000K summits in the world without supplemental oxygen. Being a novice mountaineer myself, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I found the book to be well written and extremely thoughtful. Today, when most mountaineering books are written as 34;tell-all34; accounts of an expedition, I found this book to be refreshing because it was more about the experience of conquering the mountain than it was about airing dirty laundry about the participants. This particular climb still amazes me, because this team of explorers summited Annapurna (an extremely difficult and demanding mountain) on their first attempt. This book is about courage, determination, perseverance and dedication. This is a must read if you are the least bit interested in mountaineering.

A marvelous window into early Himalayan climbing. One would laugh at the primitive equipment, the false maps, and the disappearing mountains if the stakes hadn't been so high (life or death). Eventually the French team finds Annapurna, but the weather threatens to end the attempt. A thrilling account.
