Mountains and Men, first published in 1931, provides a detailed look at some of the first ascents (and attempted ascents) on the world's highest peaks: Mount Everest, K2, Denali, Aconcagua, Mount Erebus, The Matterhorn, Ruwenzori, and others. Descriptions of the climbers and their routes and equipment are given, as well as the dangers facing each expedition in their attempt to be the first to scale these treacherous mountains. Included are 25 pages of maps and photographs.
