The amazing story of four climbers, with two support members, who forged a new route on Everest in 1988. This account of the second ascent of Everest’s East, or Kangshung, Face, without sherpa support or supplemental oxygen is a must read. Venables became the first Briton to climb Everest without supplemental oxygen.
Shortlisted for the 1989 Boardman Tasker Mountaineering Literature Award.
