Kohli, a prolific writer and no stranger to Everest, chronicles all Indian ascents to the middle of 2006. Indian mountaineers have made their mark on Everest with 107 ascents, the first person to climb Everest twice, and the first woman to climb Everest twice. This includes chapter contributions by Ahluwalia, Hillary, Khullar, Pal, Jamling Tenzing, Tashi Tenzing, Ullman, and others. An interesting book with many details on the less-well-known expeditions.
