Description: This book is used but has been taken care of through the years. It is vintage book that is about a mountain peak in Napal. From the inside dust jacket: "In the Dolpo region of central Nepal" sits Dhaulagiri I, the immense White Mountain, all rock and ice, unpredictable, vicious and aloof. This fifth peak of the Dhaulagiri massif rises 26,795 feet above the green valley below it, and its summit-the sixth highest in the world-is one of the last to be climbed." This book tells the story about an American expedition of 1969-1973. Also from dust jacket "This book is the unusual account of both attempts, one tragic, the other mixing triumph with failure, each extraordinary in what it reveals about the "mountain" in our minds." All the proceeds from the sale of this book and all our items go solely to the Lewisboro Library. Thanks for looking.
