H.W. Tilman's Two Mountains and a River picks up where Mount
Everest 1938 left off. In this instalment of adventures, Tilman and
two Swiss mountaineers set off for the Gilgit region of the
Himalaya with the formidable objective of an attempt on the giant
Rakaposhi (25,550 feet). However, this project was not to be
fulfilled. Not one to be dispirited, Tilman and his various
accomplices - including pioneering mountaineer and regular partner
Eric Shipton - continue to trek and climb in locations across
China, Pakistan, Afghanistan and other areas of Asia, including the
Kukuay Glacier, Muztagh Ata, the source of the Oxus river, and
Ishkashim, where the author was arrested on suspicion of being a
spy ... Two Mountains and a River brims with the definitive Tilman
qualities - detailed observations and ever-present humour - that
convey a strong appreciation of the adventures and mishaps he
experiences along the way. With a new foreword from prominent
trekker, climber and lecturer, Gerda Pauler, this classic
mountaineering text maintains Tilman's name as a unique and
inquisitive explorer and raconteur.
