Many people come, looking, looking

Many people come, looking, looking by Galen A. Rowell. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780916890865.

Through words and photographs, Galen Rowell explores the effects of modern life and tourism on the worlds highest places: the mountains of Nepal, India, and Pakistan. In a single year, Lowell led a group of mail-order mountaineers up the highest American guided climb in history; he ascended the virgin Great Trango Gower; and he circled fabled Annapurna by a 250-mile route that took him to 21,000 feet. These unique adventures become the threads of a broader and more significant tale.
