Osborn was twenty-three and a year out of college, a compact, buoyant mass of energy and high spirits. He seemed to be wholly unaffected by either the physical or mental hazards of mountaineering and had already, by many spectacular ascents in the Alps and the Rockies, won a reputation as the most skilled and audacious of younger American climbers. Nace was in his forties – lean, taciturn, introspective. An official of the Indian Civil Service, he had explored and climbed the Himalayas for twenty years. He had been a member of all five of the unsuccessful British expeditions to K3, and in his last attempt had attained to within 500 feet of the summit, the highest point which any man had reached on the unconquered giant. This had been the famous, tragic attempt in which his fellow climber and lifelong friend, Captain Furness, had slipped and fallen ten thousand feet to his death. Nace rarely mentioned his name, but on the steel head of his ice-ax were engraved the words: To Martin from John. If fate were to grant that the ax of any one of us should be planted upon the summit of K3, I hoped his would be the one.
