George LoweThe Conquest of Everest: Original Photographs From The Legendary First Ascent

Best book .!!

I like the original photos and writing that accomplished the climb

Está increíble!!el Everest debería ser declarado patrimonio de la humanidad para así cuidarlo todos. Ahora es botín de algunos comerciantes

For the record: I'm not a mountain climber, but I've hiked up some 14,000 ft mountains in Colorado - the easy ones! So I've been bitten by the climbing bug just a tiny bit, and understand some of the appeal. And that's why, when I heard about this new book, I thought it would be interesting to see pictures from the first climb. Prior to obtaining this volume, I had seen only the one or two pictures that everyone has seen - Tenzing on the summit.This book is a gem. I love the old pictures, showing in detail the climbing attire and gear from the early 1950s: mittens and sunglasses, boots and shirts. It's like digging into a time capsule.The essays from various climbers are also quite good. In particular, there's a detailed set of notes on how to take good photos at altitude.If you've ever fantasized about mountain climbing, this big sized coffee table book will be satisfying.

Es sind viele Bücher über den everetst und dessen besteigung geschrieben und illustriert worde. Diese Buch ist einfach einmalig und erzählt die ganze Geschichte. seltene Bilder kommen vor. Für Liebhaber des Himalayismus empfehlenswert.

Muy buen libro, con ilustraciones dignas de la historia de la gran cima del mundo.Tapa dura y muy buena presentación.
