In translation from the original Russian publication, 1977.
According to the back cover, this is the first mountaineering book by a Soviet climber to be translated into and published in English. That's honestly pretty mind-blowing. Just as mind-blowing: think about how little Russian climbing literature makes it to us in English today, forty years later. You probably know almost nothing of Russian climbing. Learn a little bit about it, here.
Paperback, 195 pages, with one isert of black and white photos in the middle.
