Climbing Everest by George Mallory
In Climbing Everest, George Mallory, possibly the first man to summit Everest, takes us with him on his climbs in Britain, the Alps and the far east. The highpoint are his three expeditions to Mount Everest - the last of which cost him his life (a few days after the final piece in this book).
'Compelling pieces' Stephen Venables, Mail on Sunday 'Invaluable... [a] surprise it has taken so long to see the light of day.' National Geographic 'Expressive and emotionally literate.' Scottish Mountaineer
