About This Item

(Johannesburg: Macmillan, 1986) 0869542699. 4to; original blue boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pictorial endpapers; pp. (xvi) + 232, incl. index; full-colour plates; monochrome photographs in text; maps. Variant dustwrapper a little sunned on spine panel; trace of foxing to endpapers, occasional fox spot elsewhere. Very good condition. "This is a book about the Drakensberg, about its menace and its mysteries, but also about its beauty and its timeless tranquility. It is a book about the men who have claimed these lofty peaks, who dared the wrath of the dragon and who faced tragedy and high drama with clear eyes. It tells of the selfless courage and determination of the men who put life and limb in jeopardy in the rescue of comrades trapped and injured on impossible mountain ledges. It tells also of the history of mountain rescue work in the Drakensberg." .
