An impressive large-format celebration of some of the finest Himalayan climbs that can be tackled using alpine-style tactics, with commentaries (both anecdotal, technical and tactical) in the mould of The High Mountains of the Alps. The peaks selected range from 8000m giants down to accessible 6000m comparative miniatures with 16 in the Karakoram, 10 in India and 14 from Nepal / Tibet. This revised edition of the book has some photo improvements, an index and a new jacket.
