White Limbo: The Classic Story Of The First Australian Climb Of Everest

Synopsis

The highest point on earth - the summit of Everest - is every climber's dream... In 1984, it was the goal of a small team of Australians. They planned a quick, lightweight ascent of an unclimbed route without oxygen. But their battle with storms, avalanches, extreme cold and thin air meant they soon began to run out of time. Walt Unsworth, Everest historian, wrote, "...their actual achievement was astonishing; one of the greatest climbs ever done on the mountain". WHITE LIMBO is a compelling story of danger and the incredible limits of human endurance. Published more than two decades ago, it continues to be a true adventure classic.
