Upon that Mountain is the first autobiography of the mountaineer
and explorer Eric Shipton. In it, he describes all his pre-war
climbing, including his Everest bids of the 1930s, and his second
Karakoram survey in 1939, when he returned to Snow Lake to complete
the mapping of the ranges flanking the Hispar and Choktoi glacier
systems around the Ogre. Crossing great swathes of the Himalaya,
the book, like so many of Shipton's works, is both entertaining and
an important addition to the mountain literature genre. It captures
an important period in mountaineering history - that just before
the Second World War - an ends on an elegiac note as Shipton
describes his last evening at the starkly-beautiful snow lake,
before he returns to a 'civilisation' about to embark on a
cataclysmic war.
