About The Book -: The writer writes sensitively of the whole glorious country of Himalaya and of the attempts on Nanga Parbat, K2, Kangchenjunga and the other majestic peaks; nor is it limited to the physical records of climbs and climbers. The author sees in these attempts a great adventure, and also a symbol and parable of a mans urge to spiritual achievements. This theme runs throughout the book, reaching its climax in a superb descriptions of the climber-the pilgrim-among the mountains and the stars.
