The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. A new introduction by Joe Simpson, author of 'Touching the Void', confirms the lasting relevance of this true adventure classic. Armed with an intimate knowledge that comes only from first-hand experience of climbing the Eiger, Harrer gives a gripping account of physical daring and mental resilience. It was a landmark expedition that pitted the explorers against treacherous conditions and the limits of human endurance, and which many have since tried - and failed - to emulate. Heinrich Harrer, author of 'Seven Years in Tibet' and one of the twentieth century's greatest mountaineers, was part of the team that finally conquered the Eiger's fearsome North Face in 1938. A classic of mountaineering literature, this is the story of the harrowing first ascent of the North Face of the Eiger, the most legendary and terrifying climb in history.

It was probably intended as a spy-glass for robbers but those gentry swarmed about her so close and so often that looking for them at long range would have been a mere ridiculous superfluity. Her only arms were a pistol, and her only instruments a telescope and a watch. She was seven months and ten days in the forbidden land.

Yet how quaintly pathetic in its simplicity and how richly amusing in its unpreparedness ! Starting from the north of China, near the Great Wall, Miss Taylor entered Tibet, penetrated almost to Lhasa, and returned by another route. There is nothing to equal it in the whole fascinating story of Tibetan travel.

Her audacity makes one hold one s breath: what chance has a mouse in a cageful of cats? Others had been before her, but not women. With- out a companion and without equipment this unsophisticated pilgrim crept into the secret places of the Great Closed Land. It is simply the diary of a plucky and resourceful woman who pushed her way, practically alone, through the heart of Tibet, and put down all that happened to her as she went along.

It is travel and adventure who will not rise to that? And it is travel and adventure in the hardest of all lands left to explore. 335 About The Book : This is a book for anybody to read.
