This is the official account of the fourth expedition to Everest, led by Hugh Ruttledge with a team that included Frank Smythe, Eric Shipton, Wyn Harris, and L.R. Wager. While this 1933 climb failed to reach the summit, 3 of the climbers (Wager, Wyn Harris and later Smythe) did reach over 28,000 feet, the farthest man had climbed this mountain at the time. In 1934 Ruttledge was awarded a Royal Geographical Society Founder's Gold Medal; his citation read 'For his journeys in the Himalayas and his lead leadership of the Mount Everest Expedition, 1933.'- Bookseller Back Lane Books (Member of IOBA) (CA)
