This vintage book contains Francis Younghusband's 1926 account of a mountaineering expedition to the peak of Mount Everest. This fascinating and insightful volume is highly recommended for climbing enthusiasts, and constitutes a must-have for collectors of antiquarian literature of this ilk.

It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
