Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. This copy is bound in blue cloth with bright gilt titling to the spine and blind borders to the upper board there is a neat inscription to the f.e.p. there is some occasional spotting throughout. so best described as very good. A dust wrapper is not present. Hugh Ruttledge (24 October 1884 - 7 November 1961) was an English civil servant and mountaineer who was the leader of two expeditions to Mount Everest in 1933 and 1936. With the near-universal support for his leadership on the 1933 trip, Ruttledge was selected to lead a second expedition (the sixth British expedition), which was the largest to date to attempt Everest. Alongside veterans of the 1933 expedition Frank Smythe, Eric Shipton and Percy Wyn-Harris team members were Charles Warren, Edmund Wigram, Edwin Kempson, Peter Oliver, James Gavin, John Morris and Gordon Noel Humphreys. William Smyth-Windham was again chief radio operator. Although the North Col was reached, a combination of high winds, storms and waist-deep snow made progress above 7,000 m difficult and, with the monsoon arriving early, Ruttledge called off the expedition. Tenzing Norgay wrote of Ruttledge and the 1936 expedition Mr Ruttledge was too old to be a high climber, but he was a wonderful man, gentle and warm-hearted, and all the Sherpas were very glad to be with him. This was a very big expedition, with more sahibs than there had ever been before, and a total of sixty Sherpas, which was five times as many as in 1935. Ref XX1. Seller Inventory # 017721
