Also published (and perhaps better-known) under the title "Nanga Parbat Pilgrimage". In translation from the original German.
Hermann Buhl's autobiography, written before he turned 30. Good he did so, as he died at 32 when a cornice collapsed underneath him. This book relates his early climbs, leading up to the climax of his impressive first ascent of Nanga Parbat, the only FA of an 8000-meter peak to be done alone.
This is the first US edition, first printing. 318 pages with index, glossary, 19 b&w photographic plates, and three maps. Hardcover with dust jacket in good shape.
