The Assault on Mount Everest 1922 - The Second Expedition to the Mountain
C. G. Bruce
Publisher: Aeneas Press
Summary
The first serious attempt on Everest: the reconnaissance, the north col, the oxygen argument, Finch and Bruce at 27,300 feet, and the avalanche that killed seven porters. Charles Bruce led the expedition and this is the official account, with chapters by Mallory, Somervell and Longstaff. It is the record of the moment when the mountain stopped being theoretical.
