Annapurna – The First Conquest of an 8000 Metre Peak

Since first publication, when it sold 400,000 copies, ‘œAnnapurna” has acquired classic status. It is the enthralling account, by the leader of the French expedition, of the first conquest of Annapurna – at that time, and at more than 8,000 metres, the highest mountain ever climbed.It is a story of breathtaking courage and determination against appalling odds. In records of mountaineering, in tales of human endeavour, there is nothing so unforgettable as the account of the descent by the triumphant but frost-bitten men, after the monsoon had broken, through the flooded valleys of Nepal.As well as an introduction by Joe Simpson, this new edition includes 16 pages of photographs, which provide a remarkable visual record of this legendary expedition.
