Annapurna (Adventure Library)

Annapurna was the first 8000-meter mountain to be climbed. But Maurice Herzog's team paid a terrible price for their great feat. The story of their descent from the summit is one of the great narratives in all mountaineering literature. This is the most widely-read and influential mountaineering book ever published.
