Items related to Annapurna: The First Conquest of an 8000-Metre Peak
The enthralling account, by the leader of the French expedition, of the first conquest of Annapurna - at that time, and at more than 8000 metres, the highest mountain ever climbed.
It is a story of breathtaking courage and determination against appalling odds. In records of mountaineering, in tales of human endeavour, there is nothing so unforgettable as the account of the descent by the triumphant but frost-bitten men, after the monsoon had broken, through the flooded valleys of Nepal.
As well as an introduction by Joe Simpson, this new edition includes 16 pages of photographs, which provide a remarkable visual record of this legendary expedition.

Product Description:
Annapurna The First Conquest of an 8000-Metre Peak
Review:
"After being swept off his feet by an avalanche and left dangling by a rope around his neck, Herzog``began to pass water, violently and uncontrollably'. Your reaction may be only slightly less extreme as you move from one nail-biting moment to the next in this wonderful 1952 tale of triumph and frostbite." (Outside)
"Quite simply the greatest mountaineering book ever written." (Joe Simpson, from the Introduction)
