Everest Naoki Ishikawa

Introduction (from the publisher)
The world’s highest peak Everest (8,848m above sea level).
In 2001, 23 -year -old Naoki Ishikawa climbed this mountain from Tibet.At that time, he was the youngest in the world and climbed the highest peak of seven continents.
And 10 years later.This time, I left from the Nepal side to climb again.At 6:12 on May 20, 2011, Ishikawa stood again at the top of the world’s highest peak.

“Why do you climb the mountains? Why do you want to go again? No matter how much you think, you can only reach the conclusion of” I like it. “These long -term climbing expeditions will erase all of the lees that stick to the body and bring them back to a simple state.Before and later, the world looks different.By going, the destination of the road you have progressed changes.If such a series of changes is a definition and achievement of an excellent journey, two times climbing Everest would have been the best trip for me (from this book).

This book is a culmination of “Everest” photos by Naoki Ishikawa, which is composed of photos taken during the Himalayas, such as Lotse and Makaroo expeditions, centered on the 2011 Everest line.

“Ishikawa seems to be inviting us to Everest with himself. Every step, the physical burden and fatigue become unbearable every time we climb, and we finally climbed, the majestic peaks rising from our feet.Lost words “-Filippo Mugger (Curator / Photographer)

Beginning on the Everest Kaido, a trade route in the Nepal K -boo region, the world’s highest peak, the scenery of the high -spots glaciers, the appearance of the avalanches that are difficult to go, and the breathing of climbers aiming for the top.A photo book that should be called the definitive edition of “Everest”.
