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.
