	Shipton's Arch @ nationalgeographic.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Instead, Shipton and his climbing partner, Bill Tilman, joked that “they could organize a Himalayan expedition in half an hour on the back of an envelope.” Unusual in the 1930s, their no-frills style has since become the standard—lightweight, low impact, self-propelled, culturally sensitive, and motivated by the sheer joy of exploration.
		Shipton’s encounter was only the beginning in yeti hunting.
		Shipton’s Sherpa described the yeti as half man, half beast, covered with reddish brown hair.

	Everest Adventures
		Eric Shipton is unquestionably one of the greatest mountain explorers of the twentieth century, and was the first to develop the concept of lightweight, self-reliant expeditions, so important to mountaineering today.
		Shipton is perhaps best-known for his part in five Everest expeditions, and it is his legacy to have paved the way for the historic 1953 ascent.
		Shipton was keen to demonstrate how much could be done with one-tenth the budget of the previous 1933 mission and just a fraction of the disruption caused to the local countryside.

	Do Unto Others Project-Church of the Science of God
		ERIC SHIPTON was one of Britain’s strongest mountain climbers, but he once took a hard fall—while standing on level ground.
		Shipton, by contrast, was a lone adventurer, drawn to untouched mountains—a climbers’ climber whose reputation has only grown with the years.
		Shipton capured the British public’s imagination with a poetic account of the ascent, arguing that climbing with as spare a team as possible was key to apprehending the mountains sublimity.

	The Wetass Chronicles
		Shipton was a part of all four massive British expeditions to Everest in the 1930s, and is credited with finding the route that Hillary and Tenzing would eventually climb to the top.
		But he is best known for his partnership with another Wetass Hall Of Famer, H.W. Tilman, a partnership that defined the essence of adventure, took Shipton to the corners of the earth, and helped pioneer the light, fast Alpine-style of climbing big mountains (which was anathema at the time).
		Tilman and Shipton liked to say that any expedition could be planned on the back of a cocktail napkin, and they spent a lot of time filling up cocktail napkins...

	The Himalayan snapshot by Shipton and Ward - new analysis of the footprint
		New analysis of the well-known photo by Eric Shipton and Michael Ward, which shows the footprint of an unknown animal on snow in Himalayas, is carried out.
		Eric Shipton told in his books about the circumstances when the photo was made.
		I suggest that peculiarities on the Shipton photo can be caused by overprint of feet of two different exemplars - at first the larger animal stepped on snow, and then the smaller animal put its foot on the same place.

	ERIC SHIPTON: SIX MOUNTAIN TRAVEL BOOKS, 2ND EDITION
		Eric Shipton (1907-1977) is generally accepted to be one of the great mountain explorers of the twentieth century, an exemplar of self-reliant and simple travel.
		During the war and until 1951 Shipton served as a diplomat, representing his country in Persia, Hungary and as Consul-General in Kashgar and Kunming in the Sinkiang region of China.
		Shipton's post-war books began with The Mount Everest Reconnaissance Expedition 1951 - basically a picture book, but it contained a short text which is essential reading in the history of the mountain, and for those interested in the surrounding ranges which were explored by members of the expedition.

		Shipton, de taille moyenne, aux larges épaules, aux cheveux blonds crépus et aux yeux d’un bleu intense, dépassait son compagnon d’une tête.
		En 1938 le comité de l’Everest réunis Shipton et Tilman pour une nième expédition sur le toit du monde qui se soldera pour les mêmes raisons que la précédente par un échec.
		Shipton véhicule toujours l’image d’un explorateur, plus intéressé par ce qui se trouve derrière un col ou une crête que par l’ascension d’une cime.

	Anomalies Article: The Shipton Photograph
		Shipton said that the prints were too large to be a bear's and too fresh to have been enlarged or distorted by melting.
		From August to October 1951, Eric Shipton made his fifth visit to Mount Everest; and it was on this trip that he took his famous photograph.
		The expedition party consisted of leader Eric Shipton, Mike Ward, Bill Murray, Tom Bourdillon, Ed Hillary, Earle Riddiford, Angtharkay, Pasang Bhotia, Nima, Sen Tensing and six other Sherpas (Ed Hillary was later to be knighted Sir Edmund in 1953 after reaching the top of Mount Everest with Tenzing Norgay, a native guide).

	Snow Lion Expeditions: Shipton's Arch or Shiptons' Arch?
		Eric and Diana Shipton resided in Kashgar during the late 1940's while Eric served as British Consul-General in the area.
		As might be expected from one of the 20th century's most renowned mountaineers, Eric's account is a succinct seven pages in length with detailed descriptions of rock strata, slope, elevation gains, and weather.
		Gyalgen's “gentle, soothing encouragement” got her up the wall, not Eric's “logical assurances.” We catch a fleeting glimpse into the couple's relationship as she continues to explain that Eric encouraged her to try small climbs he deemed “absolutely safe,” and how difficult it was for her to accept his assurances.

		Eric Shipton photographed and sketched this single track of an alleged yeti, which measured 13 inches toe to heel.
		Additional yeti tracks similar in shape to Shipton's came along about the same time: Lord John Hunt, Sir Edmund Hillary, Frank Smythe, H.W. Tilman, and Peter Byrne who found a string of tracks in 1948 on one of his first expeditions near the area of the Zemu Glacier at an altitude of 15,000 feet.
		In 1957, after spending 3 months trekking up Nepal's Arun River Valley on a recon mission for a future expedition with Tom Slick, Peter Byrne found a set of yeti footprints in the Chhoyang Khola at 10,000 feet altitude.

	Everest 1935, the forgotten adventure, by Tony Astill
		The 'Forgotten Adventure' was a delightful mountaineering expedition where Eric Shipton and Bill Tilman introduced their 'alpine style' of mountaineering and gave Sherpa Tensing, just 19 years old, his first chance.
		Several expedition sketch maps are reproduced and in particular, the North Face of Everest, by the expedition surveyor Michael Spender, is used to illustrate the unique double dust jacket.
		Eric Shipton was the leader of the fifth Mount Everest expedition but, for some reason or other, did not write the expedition book.

		The wide-ranging 1934 expedition of Eric Shipton and H.W. Tilman in the Garhwal Himalaya is still regarded as an epitome of adventurous mountaineering.
		In 1936 Tilman joined an American and British expedition (Shipton was on Everest at the time), and tells the tale of their successful climb in his restrained, witty account The Ascent of Nanda Devi.
		The two books are presented here along with further accounts by Shipton of his subsequent surveying expeditions in and around the Sanctuary, which served to mitigate his regret in missing the ascent of Nanda Devi.

		Shipton would later return to Africa where he joined up with Tilman to explore the Ruwenzori Range (nicknamed “The Mountains of the Moon” by explorer Burton) in Uganda, but the spell of the Himalayas had a profound impact on him.

		Later in life he completed a traverse across the Southern Patagonia Ice Cap.
		Because of his belief in the efficacy of small expeditions as compared to military-style 'sieges', Eric Shipton was stepped down from the leadership of the 1953 Everest expedition, along with Andrew Croft, in favour of Major John Hunt - "I leave London absolutely shattered" he would write.

	Eric Shipton: Everest and Beyond - PowerBookSearch!
		From Africa to Everest to South America and the Southern Patagonia ice cap, the enigmatic Eric Shipton's (1907-1977) adventures continue to fascinate readers.
		He reveals the full story behind Shipton's shocking exclusion from the 1953 British expedition to Everest, a controversy that reverberated through the climbing world long after Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay successfully reached the summit.
		Tracing Shipton's career from his early years spent climbing with H.W. Tilman in Africa to the 1933 Everest expedition--where Shipton's disenchantment with elaborate, large-scale expeditions became complete—to explorations of Garhwal, the Karakoram, and Kashgar, Steele gives him the place in history he has long deserved.
