Sayre, Woodrow Wilson
Four Against Everest
Paperback
no date, Tower
Condition: good
The fascinating, true-life adventure story of four amateur mountain climbers - a college professor, a school teacher, a lawyer and a geology student - who set out to climb Everest's North Face with a bare minimum of money, food and equipment. To make their journey across some of the world's roughest terrain even more hazardous, the four had to make a secret dash through Tibet, risking capture by the Communist border patrol. The route was gruelling and torturous. First the vast distance from Nepal to the base camp. Then the glaciers: 25 miles of untracked ice and snow averaging 20,000 feet in altitude. Then the North Face itself. Each man was driven close to the breaking point. Yet they also experienced moments of pure excitement and exhilaration.
