Shipton and Tilman: The Great Decade of Himalayan Exploration

This remarkable story tells of two British mountaineers who, in the 1930s, pioneered many routes in Africa and the Himalayas. Using unpublished diaries, journals, and extensive correspondence, Jim Perrin presents a portrait of their extraordinary friendship and adventures.

From crossing Africa by bicycle to exploring China with notable companions, Tilman and Shipton's journeys of discovery are unparallelled in the annals of mountain exploration. Their partnership is a gift, revealing the quirkiest and most stimulating of friendships amidst geographical excitement and the nature of arduous travel in difficult terrain.
