Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In 1982, Following The Relaxation Of Access Restrictions To Tibet, Six Climbers Set Off For The Himalaya To Explore The Littleknown Shishapangma Massif In Tibet. Dealing With A Chaotic Buildup And Bureaucratic Obstacles So Huge They Verged On Comical, The Mountaineers Gained Access To Shishapangma'S Unclimbed Southwest Face Where Doug Scott, Alex Macintyre And Roger Baxterjones Made One Of The Most Audacious And Stylish Himalayan Climbs Ever.First Published In 1984 As The Shishapangma Expedition, Shishapangma Won The First Ever Boardman Tasker Prize For Mountain Literature. Told Through A Series Of Diarystyle Entries From All The Climbers Involved, Shishapangma Reveals The Difficult Nature Of Himalayan Decisionmaking, Mountaineering Tactics And Climbing Relationships. Tense And Candid, The Six Writers See Every Event Differently, Reacting In Different Ways And Pulling No Punches In Their Opinions Of The Other Mountaineers Quite Literally At One Point. Nonetheless, The Climbers, At The Peak Of Their Considerable Powers And Experience, Completed An Extremely Committing Enterprise. The Example Set By Their Fine Climb Survives And Several New Routes (All Done In Alpine Style) Have Now Been Added To This Magnificent Face.For Welltrained Climbers, Such Ascents Are Fast And Efficient, But The Consequences Of Error, Misjudgement Or Bad Luck Can Be Terminal And, Sadly, Soon Afterwards Two Of The Participants Were Struck Down In Mountaineering Accidents Macintyre Hit By Stonefall On Annapurna'S South Face And Baxterjones Being Caught By An Ice Avalanche On The Aiguille Du Triolet. In Addition Their Support Climber, Nick Prescott, Died In A Chamonix Hospital From An Altitudeinduced Ailment. Shishapangma Is A Gripping Firsthand Account Of The Intense Reality Of Highaltitiude Alpinism.
