	Lionel Terray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lionel Terray (born July 25, 1921 in Grenoble) is a French climber who did many first ascents, including the first ascent of the Himalayan peak, Makalu, with Jean Couzy on 15 May 1955 and the first ascent of the Cerro Fitzroy in the Patagonian Andes, with Guido Magnone, 1952.
		Terray was a member of Maurice Herzog's 1950 expedition to the Nepalese Himalayan peak, Annapurna, the highest peak climbed at the time, and the first 8000-meter peak climbed.
		In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Terray did a number of first ascents in Peru, including the highest unclimbed peak in the central Andes at the time, 20,981-foot Huantsan.

		The storm and the deep snow forced Terray and Lachenal to turn back without establishing Camp V. The time was short and Herzog decided that he and Lachenal would go up from Camp II to Camp IV, establish one more camp, and try the summit.
		Rébuffat and Terray spent the night with restoring the circulation of the other two’s limbs by beating the hands and the feet.
		Terray shared the only sleeping bag with Lachenal and steadily rubbed the feet of the injured alpinists.

		In an article written in 1956 in the magazine Groupe Haute Montagne, Lionel Terray recorded that "of all the climbs that I did, the Fitz Roy is that that over all others that required all of my physical and mental energy.

		Knowing that, it is no wonder the professional Chamonix guides, Louis Lachenal, Lionel Terray, and Gaston Rebuffat were more concerned about keeping their digits than reaching the summit.
		While the the author's own mountaineering experiences in the chapters on Rebuffat and Terray could arguably have been saved for a different book, they explain the spirituality and passion he conveys as he interviews their survivors.
		After the ostensible summit of Annapurna (more about this in 'True Summit') by Herzog and Louis Lachenal who were aided in their harrowing descent by fellow expeditioners, Lionel Terray and Gaston Rebuffat, only Maurice Herzog went on to become a national hero in France.

	Helen's Loom: July 2002
		One new angle on mountaineering that I do get from this book is a sense of the desire and urgency for certain -mostly European- countries (more so than individuals) to "bag" the unclimbed (highest, then most difficult) summits of our planet.
		Most of Terray's accomplishments were achieved after (and during) WWII, and understandably at that time the French in particular had a need to create French heroes; the media assisted in this creation once the hard work was done by Terray and his companions.
		Terray appears to have been aware of that opinion (look at the title of the book!).

	Conquistadors of the Useless by Lionel Terray
		Lionel Terray's autobiography is a fascinating biography describing his evolution as he grew from rebellious schoolchild looking for an avenue to channel his energies by learning to climb in the Alps.
		As his skills and confidence grew, he participated in many early expeditions to the Himalayas (including his version of the first ascent of Annapurna), the Andes, and Mt. Huntington in Alaska.
		However, by the time I was 25% of the way into the book, I was able to overlook the odd colloquialisms and could stay focused on Terray's love of climbing as he pushed his limits every year.
