1. Nanda Devi
A vivid first-person account of exploratory Himalayan mountaineering that follows reconnaissance, route-finding and hard-won climbing efforts on Nanda Devi; it mixes atmospheric descriptions of glaciers and high ridges with practical expedition detail, encounters with local people and porters, and reflective passages on teamwork, risk and the scientific and aesthetic rewards of mountain exploration.
