Synopsis from Goodreads:

Sir John Hunt, leader of the 1953 British Everest Expedition, tells the complete and authoritative story of the first successful climb to the summit of Mount Everest. He explains all the preparations for the climb and the lessons learned from earlier failed expeditions. Sir Edmund Hillary himself writes a chapter on the final assault on the summit of Everest. The book includes 56 pages of photographs.

Hunt led the ninth British expedition to Everest in 1953, with New Zealand mountaineer Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay reaching the summit on May 29, 1953.
