Upon that Mountain is the first autobiography of the mountaineer and explorer Eric Shipton. In it, he describes all his pre-war climbing, including his Everest bids of the 1930s, and his second Karakoram survey in 1939, when he returned to Snow Lake to complete the mapping of the ranges flanking the Hispar and Choktoi glacier systems around the Ogre.<\/p>\n

It captures an important period in mountaineering history \u2013 that just before the Second World War \u2013 an ends on an elegiac note as Shipton describes his last evening at the starkly-beautiful snow lake, before he returns to a \u2018civilisation\u2019 about to embark on a cataclysmic war.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
