Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The First New Zealand Himalayan Expedition, in 1951, was initiated by Earle Riddiford, who with Ed Cotter and Pasang Dawa Lama made the first ascent of Mukut Parbat, their target peak in the Garhwal Himalaya. Accompanying them on that expedition, though not to that summit, were two other New Zealand climbers, Edmund Hillary and George Lowe. Hearing of the success on Mukut Parbat, the New Zealand Alpine Club suggested to the Alpine Club in London that acclimatised New Zealanders would be a valuable asset on the forthcoming 1951 British Reconnaissance of Mt Everest, to be led by Eric Shipton. This resulted in an invitation for two New Zealanders to join the party: thrilling news the four climbers received while they were ensconced in the hill-country village of Ranikhet. A day and a half of bitter dispute rent the party asunder. Which two should go to Everest? In this enthralling narrative, journalist Lyn McKinnon tells the stories of Earle Riddiford and Ed Cotter, two extraordinary New Zealanders whose climbing achievements were forever eclipsed by the exploits of others.She draws on private papers as well as published work, and extensively interviews Cotter himself, and the families of both men, as well as many other contemporary climbers, to set the record straight.

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very clean copy. Dan Bryant (left) was the first New Zealander to climb on Everest. That's nearly 100 years ago, and today many alpinists have never heard of him. Dan Bryant with Rod Syme was the first to climb the Syme Ridge of Mt Tasman, and the first with Lud Mahan (right) to climb the east ridge of Aoraki/Mt Cook, still a formidable task. There are records of all sorts. But these hark back to a spell-binding time when snows and ridges and glaciers and plateaus were virgin territory. Dan Bryant was there. For some of us, he still is. Read all about him, and his incredible commitment before he lost his life at 52, not to a mountain or an avalanche or a crevasse, but to a ridiculously simple motor car accident.
