The successful 1975 British expedition, first ascent of the Southwest Face. The UK edition is physically larger and has more photos than the US edition. This appears to be a special printing done for Barclays Bank who was a major underwriter of the expedition. Other than the leatherette binding and imprint this is identical to the H & S edition. Neate B130, SB B26, Yak B216.
