"I am a Climber, and an Incidental Photographer," writes Ed Viesturs at the start of this stunning expedition to the highest peaks on Earth -- but as the pages that follow prove again and again, his photographs offer a vivid and unique record of a world where few people and fewer cameras ever go. There are fourteen summits on the planet higher than 8,000 meters, and Ed Viesturs has stood on twelve of them, on some more than once. What's more, he's conquered each one without supplemental oxygen, a feat that would have been dismissed as impossible mere decades ago. Three times he has mastered two 8,000-meter peaks in less than two weeks: Everest and Lhotse in 1994, Gasherbrum I and II in 1995, then, in 1999, Manaslu and Dhaulagiri. He was on Everest in the fatal season of 1996, where he lost two close friends and assisted in the rescue of some of the shocked survivors -- and then completed his own mission as lead climber of the IMAX Filming Expedition. And yet, Ed Viesturs is no daredevil; he has turned back within a few hundred feet of summits that he feels harbor unsafe conditions.

For over 20 years Reinhold Messner has been obsessed with the secret of the Yeti, the Himilayan creature of legend, who in the West became infamously known as the abominable snowman. Rather than fruitless speculation, Messner - the first person to climb Mount Everest without oxygen and the first to climb all 14 of the world's tallest peaks - provides his own first hand account. He begins by recouting his own terrifying run-ins with the Yeti - while hiking alone in remote parts of Nepal - and how they led to his determination to solve their mystery through seubsequent expeditions. This is an account of a quest, taking readers on hair-raising climbs through Nepal, Bhutan, Ladakh, Northern India, and even Tibet - where Messner was a fugitive from Chinese authorities.

This is a photographic autobiography of Britain's most prolific and experienced expedition climber who has been particularly successful in advancing Himalayan climbing.
