The area around the Indian mountain Nanda Devi is wild and
isolated. This is a fascinating insight to the men who explored
this region long before GPS and satellite photography, the men who
climbed mountains with maps and theodolites in hand. Eric Shipton
was one of a band of famous climbers and here presented is the
lecture he gave on his return. Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing
these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions,
using the original text and artwork.
