RUTTLEDGE, Hugh Everest 1933

Hodder & Stoughton, 1934.

First edition. 4to. Publisher's navy cloth with gilt lettering on the spine, in the original dustwrapper. Illustrated with fifty black and white photographic plates, three diagrams, and four maps. A very good copy, with a previous ownership bookplate, in a good price-clipped dustwrapper with tanning to the spine and a 4cm square chip to the tail of the spine.

A thrilling account of the fourth British Mount Everest expedition, on which Hugh Ruttledge commanded the climb with fifteen other men. The group failed to reach the summit, but the climb is still regarded as a breakthrough in the history of conquering Everest. On the ascent, the mountaineers retrieved an ice-axe belonging to Andrew Irvine, who had been missing since the 1924 British expedition. This helped to determine how he and his climbing partner perished.
