Just the facts ma'am, just the facts. That is a quick summary of this book. A short book with a lot of facts of the first climbs, the various routes and faces climbers have used. Certainly interesting if you examine how difficult a feat these climbs are.

There is an adventure section which includes the first cat and dog on the summit. You will also get a bit of history on the huts and events surrounding the mountain.
