A lovely, large-format, and largely photographic, book on Marc Batard's 1990 French/Belgian Everest expedition. Batard, known for his 1988 ascent of Everest without supplemental oxygen in less than 24 hours, was attempting to solo both Everest and Lhotse in a day! This colorful book also features Christine Janin who went on to complete the seven summits. In French, no English translation.
