In 1938, a team of British mountaineers led by H.W. Tilman made the first ascent of Mount Everest. This was a groundbreaking achievement, as Everest is the world's highest mountain and had never been successfully climbed before. Tilman's account of the expedition, published in 1948, is a classic of mountaineering literature. It is a gripping tale of adventure, courage, and determination.

Tilman was a pioneer in the field of mountaineering. He was one of the first to advocate for a lightweight approach to climbing, and he was also a strong proponent of using oxygen on high-altitude expeditions. Tilman's ascent of Everest was a major breakthrough in mountaineering, and it helped to pave the way for future expeditions to the world's highest peaks.

Tilman's book is not only a historical document but also a timeless work of literature. It is a beautifully written account of a remarkable journey, and it is sure to inspire and fascinate readers of all ages. If you are interested in mountaineering, adventure, or non-fiction, then I highly recommend reading Tilman's Ascent Of Mount Everest.
