New York [1936], Dutton. Green cloth, very good, 93p., index 80 photos, 3 maps,translated into English by H.E.G. Tyndale. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION S C A R C E The very fascinating primary resource for the adventure to the high Himalayas. For the most part, this expedition was not to benefit from oxygen or modern man-made materials, but rather used those classic materials for boots, clothing and climbing materials. They lost four members of their team and six porters all of which were buried on Nanga Parbat. Its a very gripping story, and the photography is exquisite. By and large a superb early primary climb resource. * BIBLIOGRAPHY: Yakushi B98b variant * .
