Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Excellent stuff. Manages to combine refreshingly un-imperial attitudes to non-Brits (i.e. treats the Sherpas as real people, albeit a little patronisingly - some modern mountaineers could learn a lot) with great stiff-upper-lip stoicism. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
É resumida em
Their achievement provided one answer to the many questions about high-altitude survival which had been asked from the beginning of the century. Their climb was the culmination of a siege-style effort in the expedition led by Sir John Hunt. Indeed, it provided the blueprint for the first ascents of the majority of the remaining 800 metre peaks through the next decade. Today Everest has been climbed by all its formidable ridges and each of its great faces. It has been climbed without supplementary oxygen, it had been soloed and parapented off. But the original ascent remains a classic story of exploring new thresholds and reaching out to achieve the highest point in the world. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
