Click "free sample" to read the whole book. No need to purchase. This is an important historical document, the official account of the first British reconnaissance of the slopes of Mount Everest in 1921, preparatory to the serious attempt to reach the summit in 1924. It is well worth reading even in its most turgid parts (and some parts are heavy reading indeed--in particular those written by C. K. Howard-Bury--not because they are difficult or overly technical, but because he is seriously dull writer! Even in those parts, the subject matter triumphs over the writing style.)
