Description
Beautiful, remote and dangerous ? for generations we have looked to the mountains in awe... There are the devout Incan priests who, scaling the Andes? icy slopes to pay tribute to each mountain?s ?Great Lord?, travelled higher than any European would for centuries. The Gurkha riflemen who joined their commander Charles Granville Bruce in canvassing the Karakoram, admiring the distant summits of Broad Peak and K2 with a gleeful anticipation. The tweed-clad mountaineers who first who made the first serious assaults on Everest, hauling yards upon yards of battered rope, fingers grappling with carabiners, frozen half-shut in the cold. Tracing the world altitude record from the ashy slopes of the sacred volcano Llullaillaco to the icy crags and crevasses of the Karakoram, Daniel Light takes a panoramic journey through the storied history of mountaineering before Everest. Joining a cast of colourful characters, The White Ladder offers an ode to mountains? capacity to enthral, and the fundamental human drive to climb higher and higher.
