He eloquently describes the concept of climbing Everest "as a symbol of the loftiest spiritual height of man's imagination," and he goes on to say: "[T]his record of the Everest climbers' undaunted efforts has come to be an inspiration not only to mountaineers and geographers, but also to that far more numerous host of humble yet ambitious strivers after the topmost pinnacle of achievement in the varied branches of human activity. It has even given new heart to many a lonely invalid struggling through all adversity to keep his soul steadfastly set on the highest. Its appeal is universal." Hugh Ruttledge's 'Everest 1933' (or in America, Attack on Everest) is an important book in the history of Everest. It documents the return of the British following George Mallory and Andrew Irvine's ill-fated walk into the clouds and the historical imagination. Ruttledge (1884-1961) led the 1933 expedition. The highest point attained on this attempt was 8,570 m (28,116 f). During the expedition, the ice-axe belonging to Irvine, who disappeared with Mallory on the 1924 attempt while going for the summit, was found on the flanks of the north face. Sprache: english.
