Mount Everest

For ages people have been awed by the great and forbidden heights of the Mount Everest. People have through the ages looked up at the great Himalayan peaks and not dared to think of climbing even the minor giants, much less the monarch of them all.

But man with his instinct of attaining the unattainable and knowing the unknown, was no longer content with idly contemplating the mountain form a distance. They must be up and grappling with it. The time for action had arrived. And just how the idea of climbing the MOUNT EVEREST was put into execution is the content of the book aptly titled, The EPIC OF MOUNT EVEREST.

The book addresses itself to three distinct high adventure phases. The first reconnaissance phase-of prospecting the mountain carefully. The second-first-actual attempt to reach summit, and lastly came the second tragic attempt with men climbing to 8100 feet.

THE EPIC OF MOUNT EVEREST is a must for anybody interested in the greatest mountain ranges in the world.
