Description

Imagine mountaineering Mt. Everest and not using a Sherpa assistance. Purposefully abstaining also from bottled oxygen, computers, and radios, whilst establishing an historic new route. In 1988, American climber Ed Webster’s 4-man team achieved this ultimate Everest ascent, years before the Into Thin Air tragedy. Now delve into Webster’s 5-Star reader-rated Everest classic, Snow in the Kingdom, illustrated by 100 pages of stunning color photographs.

Almost 30 years ago, in a mountaineering style never seen again on Everest, four partners from The united states, Canada, and England pioneered a super-dangerous new route (the Neverest Buttress) up the avalanche-blasted precipices of the remote, nearly forgotten Kangshung East Face of Mt. Everest in Tibet. In all probability most remarkably, not wanting to endanger the lives of any Sherpas, the climbers carried each and every ounce of gear and food themselves. Only one person summited. This small team’s indomitable strength of will to succeed, their bravery, mutual accept as true with, and teamwork have turn into legendary. But days without food plus severe frostbite were the painful prices of victory and survival.
