THAT UNTRAVELLED WORLD (PB)

Eric Shipton was a pioneering explorer, journeying to places that did not feature on maps. In this autobiography, first published in 1969, Shipton describes early childhood days filled with adventures. He also recounts his first encounter with the high mountains on a visit to the Pyrenees and the onset of his climbing career inspired by travels in Norway with a friend. He reminisces on first meeting infamous explorer H.W. ‘Bill’ Tilman, and their first expedition together to Mount Kenya. Tilman and Shipton were later to become one of the most famous climbing partnerships of all time.
