Tibets Secret Mountain The Triumph of Sepu Kangri

It is best known locally as Ôthe Great White Snow God'. For Chris Bonington & Charles Clarke, Tibet's Ôsecret mountain' -- Sepu Kangri -- the highest peak of what is the largest unclimbed mountain range in the world had long been a dream. They saw it first from the air 20 years ago, but in those days central Tibet was still a forbidden land. This is not only an account of their attempts to explore & reach the summit of Sepu Kangri, but also a glimpse into the lives of the nomadic people of the Tibetan highlands. Forced back by the snow & poor visibility in 1997, the climbers returned in 1998 & came close to success, but failed. Includes: expedition members, diary of events, gazetteer, maps, weather, med., Tibetan Chinese glossary, & bibliography.
