In Some Lost Place by Sandy Allan

In Some Lost Place is Sandy Allan's account of his team's first ascent of the Mazeno Ridge of Nanga Parbat, one of the last challenges in the Himalaya. At ten kilometres long, the Mazeno is the longest route to the summit of an 8,000-metre peak. Allan's story is one of an incredible feat of endurance and commitment at the very limits of survival.

'This is a worthy addition to the canon of great British mountaineering literature, and also boasts beautiful colour photos and diagrams that dovetail perfectly with the narrative' – Press and Journal

Sandy Allan was born and raised in Dalwhinnie in the Highlands of Scotland, and has been climbing since his teens. During the 1980s and 1990s he established many hard new winter and mixed climbs in Scotland, and he continues to be an active climber and new route developer. He is an IFMGA/UIAGM mountain guide and has guided clients to the summits of many of the highest mountains in the world, including Mount Everest, Cho Oyu and Nanga Parbat. As well as guiding in the Himalaya, Sandy has been involved in many expeditions, including the Muztagh Tower, Lhotse West and the Scottish Direct Route on the South Face of Pumori. In 2012, over the course of eighteen days and in alpine style, he and his partner Rick Allen completed the first ascent of one of the Himalaya's most coveted unclimbed lines, the Mazeno Ridge of Nanga Parbat – a story recounted in his book In Some Lost Place. In recognition of their ascent, Rick and Sandy were awarded the 2013 Piolet d'Or.
