In it, he describes all his pre-war climbing, including his <strong>Everest</strong> bids of the 1930s, and his second <strong>Karakoram</strong> survey in 1939, when he returned to Snow Lake to complete the mapping of the ranges flanking the Hispar and Choktoi glacier systems around the <strong>Ogre</strong>.</p><p>Crossing great swathes of the <strong>Himalaya</strong>, the book, like so many of Shipton's works, is both entertaining and an important addition to the mountain literature genre. It captures an important period in mountaineering history - that just before the Second World War - an ends on an elegiac note as Shipton describes his last evening at the starkly beautiful snow lake, before he returns to a 'civilisation' about to embark on a cataclysmic war.</p><p> </p>
