Sir Francis Younghusband
The Epic of Mount Everest (Illustrated)
In 1921, Mount Everest was still a fortress of unknown ridges, glaciers and immense altitude. Britain sent an expedition not to conquer Everest, but to discover whether a way to its summit existed at all. They returned in 1922 to make the first determined assault upon the mountain, and again in 1924 for the expedition that would become inseparable from the names of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine.

Inside the edition
About this book.
“The mountain now stands there proud and erect and unconquered.” Drawing upon the records of all three expeditions, explorer and former Royal Geographical Society President Sir Francis Younghusband recounts the great opening campaign upon the highest mountain on Earth: reconnaissance, extreme altitude, oxygen, avalanche, endurance, and the final ascent into the clouds, from which they never returned. Published in 1926, The Epic of Mount Everest preserves the mountain at the moment when its summit still stood beyond certainty. Before conquest came the attempt.
