 A good, clean copy of this mountaineering classic, "Annapurna South Face", by Chris Bonington, published by Book Club Associates of London in 1971. The ascent of Annapurna by Maurice Herzog's French expedition in 1950 was one of the great landmarks in mountaineering history. Yet the real challenge of Annapurna remained - the South Face, over 10,000 feet of rock and ice and one of the most formidable mountain walls in the world. At the end of March 1970, an expedition led by Chris Bonington arrived at Base Camp in the Annapurna Basin, and two months later, on May 27th, two members of the team, Don Whillans and Dougal Haston, reached the summit. The seemingly impregnable South Face had been conquered. Hard covers, 334 pages presenting a vivid account of this trimphant achievement, superb full color plates, original dust jacket. Ref.
