Summary: Abode of Snow : A History of Himalayan Exploration and Mount
Review: This book is a breathtaking introduction to high-altitude climbing with anecdotal history about the Everest expeditions and the region's history. It is a well-researched book for both a hobbyist and a serious climber and focuses both on the Khumbu region and the lesser know Tibet face.
