Books, Manuscripts
Everest can be conquered by inexperienced mountaineers, and their exploits barely merit media attention - unless they go fatally wrong. In this study of the history of Everest climbs, Richard Sale and George Rodway describe the struggle to conquer the mountain and the advances in scientific knowledge that made the conquest possible.
