  The first successful ascent of Mount Everest in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa teammate Tenzing Norgay is a familiar saga, but less well known are the tales of many other adventurers who also came to test their skills and courage on Mount Everest. This illustrated book presents a comprehensive history of Himalayan mountaineering.
