The White Ladder is the true story of the thrill-seekers, map-makers, soldiers, occultists, artists, and porters who paved the way for modern mountaineering.

Tracing the world altitude record from the ashy slopes of the sacred volcano Llullaillaco to the icy crags and crevasses of the Karakoram, Daniel Light takes a panoramic journey through the storied history of mountaineering before Everest.
