The Last Great Mountain: The First Ascent of Kanchenjunga
Drawing on interviews, diaries and unpublished accounts, Mick Conefrey begins The Last Great Mountain: The First Ascent of Kanchenjunga in 1905 with the first, disastrous attempt on the mountain by a team led by Aleister Crowley, explores the three dramatic German expeditions of the the late 1920s and brings it all to a climax 50 years later with the first ascent by Joe Brown and George Band.
