The White Spider: The Classic Account of the Ascent of the Eiger

Author/Contributor(s):	Harrer, Heinrich
Publisher:	Tarcher
Date:	9/28/1998
Binding:	Paperback
Condition:	NEW

The White Spider dramatically recreates not only the harrowing, successful ascent made by Harrer and his comrades in 1938, but also the previous, tragic attempts at a wall of rock that was recently enshrined in mountaineer Jon Krakauer's first work, Eiger Dreams. For a generation of American climbers, The White Spider has been a formative book--yet it has long been out-of-print in America. This edition awaits discovery by Harrer's new legion of readers.
