About This Item
Indus Publishing India, 2000. 1st ed VG+ in VG dw. When Kohli and his team reached the summit of the Karakoram Pass in the afternoon of 17th February 1995, they had been on the move for twelve gruelling hours. As they began the treacherous descent, the light breeze turned into a storm and then into a blizzard, plummeting the temperature to minus 48 degrees. Later that night when they reached their base, after twenty-six horrifying hours, two of the members were frostbitten, one of them losing seven of his fingers. But for the Ski Himalaya team, it was only the beginning of their 2000km adventure.
