Without doubt Tillman was a giant in the world of 20th century climbing. The books in this collection are almost impossible to find at any price. They have become essential reading, thus this collection is a godsend to we scholars of climbing history. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
*Tilman (on reaching the summit of Nanda Devi): "I believe we so far forgot ourselves as to shake hands on it." * Tilman (after arduous and ultimately unsuccessful attempts on two peaks in Central Asia, and his arrest as a spy): "as I turned to go down into Chitrail, tired, lousy, and bereft of my diaries, I felt that the year had at any rate been rich in instruction." The W. L. Gore Shipton/Tilman Grant is named for Tilman, and his climbing companion, Eric Shipton, but too few Americans are aware of Tilman's remarkable gift for writing. This economically-priced paperbound includes:Snow on the Equator, The Ascent of Nanda Devi, When Men and Mountains Meet, Everest 1938, Two Mountains and a River, China to Chitral andNepal Himalaya. H. W. Tilman's belief was "any worthwhile expedition can be planned on the back of an envelope." He wrote fifteen mountaineering and sailing books. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
