Eric Shipton : The Six Mountain-Travel Books, Used [Paperback]

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 others. This set of Shipton's six mountain-travel books, now in paperback, take readers along on his exploits and expeditions., letting them share times in history when vast regions of the world were unknown to all but the indigenous inhabitants. These stories recount breath-taking pieces of mountaineering history, a time when the earth's highest places were as unknown and mysterious as a distant planet. Come along.
