Annapurna : The First Conquest of an 8000- Metre Peak
ISBN: 9780099541462
Publication Date: 3 March 2011

One of the great works of mountaineering literature- long out of print and now reissued with a new introduction by Joe Simpson.

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.

About the Author
