About this book
Climbing on the Himalaya and Other Mountain Ranges is a book by Norman Collie. The preface says that after a book has been written, delivered to the publisher, and the proofs corrected, the author fondly imagines that little or no more is expected of him. The text says that, from the mountaineer's point of view, little has been accomplished amongst the Himalaya, and that of the thousands of peaks of 20,000 feet and upwards hardly twenty have been climbed.
The text says that Captain Gerard attempted the ascent of Leo Porgyul in the year 1818 but was unsuccessful after reaching a height of 19,400 feet, and that ten years later he made the first successful ascent of a mountain of 20,400 feet. The text says that in 1900, whilst exploring the Bush valley on the western side of the mountains, the first view of the valley held out hopes to the party that they should soon get to the head waters.
