About this title: In 1970, Chris Bonington and his now-legendary team of mountaineers were the first climbers to tackle a big wall at extreme altitude. Their target was the south face of Nepal's Annapurna: 12,000 feet of steep rock and ice leading to a 26, 454-ft. summit.

"Classic mountaineering tale, with Bonington's ego controlled by his personal ultimate failure to achieve the summit. Appendices for trip planning rather interesting, in the least as a significant deviation from a standard mountainering text."
"I would have given it a five stars, except the injustice to the real workers of the team who carried most of the loads to the last camp, sort of turned me off. Bonington was probably one of the greatest climbers but I lost more than a little respect at the end of this book."
"This is it. The classic book of adventure from Sir Bonnington. I bought the book in Thamel Kathmandu because this is his first writing report as expedition leader.
When you've relay on the British army's hand to do most of the job : Surveying, supplying, carrying heavy climbing gears, that's probably a reason why Bonnington was a very good organizer. He was in the army, learnt using communication radio, and do climbing in the same time. And writing this report as well. He also organized hundreds of porters and yaks to do 6 weeks climbing Annnapurna South Face. A feast that respected by two continent : US and Europe.
The book little bit technical specially strategy and food supplying, medical and drugs for high altitude, but you've must be wonder that happen 30years ago."
