Eric Shipton: The Six Mountain-Travel Books
Eric Shipton's adventures in the mountains are virtually incomparable. He explored Central Asia, Africa, and South America, making a number of significant first ascents of his own as well as pioneering routes for the first ascents of other. This set of Shipton's six mountain travel books, now in paperback, takes the readers along on his exploits and expeditions, letting them experience a time in history when vast regions of the world were unknown to all but the indigenous inhabitants.
