The majority of the book is devoted to the Himalya, the mountains of
Kumaon and Garhwal, and Karakoram. "Longstaff climbed on most ranges
in the northern hemisphere and was one of the great early Himalayan
climber-explorers. His greatest success was the ascent in 1907 of
Trisul (7120), which remained for 21 years the highest peak climbed.
His authoritative climbing memoirs have scarce received their due,"
Neate.
A near fine copy in a very good lightly edgeworn and price-clipped
just jacket. [28529] $75.00
