Everest adventures

A collection of real-life adventure stories from the dizzying heights of the world’s tallest mountain, ideal for young readers who prefer fact to fiction. Contains the true stories of those attempting to survive extreme cold, dangerous terrain and other perils – including Edmund Hilary’s expedition and other stories of tragedy and victory on the slopes.

The stories are illustrated with maps and there is a glossary of mountaineering words. Internet links take readers to websites with photos and video clips, including a virtual climb of Mount Everest.
