29,000 feet high with a unique death zone - Everst may well have been climbed before 1953 if the lessons of Alexander Kellas had been learned. Dying on the 1921 expedition to Everst - the mountain's first martyr - Kellas was Scotland's greatest Himalayan mountaineer before the present era. At his death, Kellas had more Himalayan experience and had climed more peaks above 20,000 feet than any man alive. Complete with dozens of previously unpublished photographs of the Himalaya and Kellas' own published and unpublished writings, this beautifully illustrated book is as enchanting as it is informative. A must have for all mountain enthusiasts, those interested in ground breaking research in mountaineering history, or for those simply fascinated by Everest itself.
