Sayre, and three companions, made an unauthorized Alpine-style attempt on Everest via the North Col in 1962, prior to the large, successful American expedition in 1963. This is a most interesting read which is often missed in the depth of Everest literature. Copies signed by Swiss expedition member Duttle are very rare.
