Overview

H.W. Tilman¿s Two Mountains and a River picks up where Mount Everest1938 left off. In this instalment of adventures, Tilman and two Swissmountaineers set off for the Gilgit region of the Himalaya with theformidable objective of an attempt on the giant Rakaposhi (25,550 feet).However, this project was not to be fulfilled.Not one to be dispirited, Tilman and his various accomplices¿including pioneering mountaineer and regular partner Eric Shipton¿continue to trek and climb in locations across China, Pakistan, Afghanistanand other areas of Asia, including the Kukuay Glacier, Muztagh Ata, the source of the Oxus river, and Ishkashim, where the author was arrestedon suspicion of being a spy ¿Two Mountains and a River brims with the definitive Tilman qualities¿detailed observations and ever-present humour¿that convey a strong appreciation of the adventures and mishaps he experiences along theway. With a new foreword from prominent trekker, climber and lecturer,Gerda Pauler, this classic mountaineering text maintains Tilman¿s nameas a unique and inquisitive explorer and raconteur.
