Description

Rimo. Mountain on the Silk Road by Peter Hillary. Peter Hillary was a member of a joint Indo-Australian expedition which made an attempt on one of the world's highest unclimbed mountains, the remote and elusive summit of Rimo, 24,230 feet, in the Eastern Karaloram. This magnificent adventure entailed a three-week pony caravan in the style of many centuries of travellers before them, along the historic Silk Road and over the arid Depsang Plains before they reached their mountain. Then, after many weeks of difficult climbing on Rimo's South Face they were forced to abort their attempt, to begin an epic return to civilisation, without food or ponies, in the freezing cold of early winter and under the unsympathetic eye of the Indian Army.
