Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "The story of the Mount Everest Expedition of 1933 would be incomplete without a historical background. It describes but one of the four attempts which have been made to climb Mount Everest, and those attempts themselves were only a part of man's effort to reach the higher summits of the world. No such expedition stands alone. It is a stage in the evolution of mountaineering, in the adaptation of the body to exotic conditions in the mastery of matter by the spirit. It starts equipped with experience dearly win by other men through toil and danger, sometimes at the cost of valuable lives. If it succeeds it must pay tribute to those who went before; and if it fails, consolation will be found in the hope that is has sown what others may worthily reap."
