Seller's Description:
Heinrich Harrer. New in new dust jacket. Includes: illustrations, diagrams. Atop the North Face lies the gigantic White Spider, a formidable formation of perpetual ice and snow. It is the configuration, not Eiger s height, that makes the mountain such an appalling challenge. From that perpetual, fearfully steep field of frozen snow nothing but ice emerges to fill gullies, cracks, and crevices, writes Harrer, who, with three companions in 1938, became the first to climb the Eiger's North Face, from the base to the top. For this edition Harrer chose six of his personal photographs and revised his original 1960 version. Six photogravures and Epilogue by Heinrich Harrer. Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. Each book signed by Heinrich Harrer. Inset into the front cover, minute granules, scraped from the icy rock surface of the Eiger, form the profile of the mountain; the spine a gray Nigerian goatskin. The book is set into a hinged black linen covered box lined with ultrasuede. The author s photographs have been made into photogravures and printed on mould made paper from Arches in Epinal, France. One Volume, 9 x 13. As the publisher, we unconditionally guarantee that all books are authentic and the condition is As New (NOS).
