This copy was originally the property of climber Wilfrid Noyce who was most likely given this copy by the author John Menlove Edwards in November 1936

Wilfrid Noyce (1917 – 1962) was an English mountaineer and author.

By the age of eighteen, Noyce was already a fine climber,

from 1935 he was regularly climbing with John Menlove Edwards of Liverpool, the author of this book, whom he had a relationship with for many years.

Before the Second World War, he helped Edwards to produce rock climbing guides to the crags of Tryfan and Lliwedd in Snowdonia. Like other leading British climbers of the prewar period, such as Mallory, Jack Longland, Ivan Waller and A. B. Hargreaves, Noyce became a protégé of Geoffrey Winthrop Young, attending his parties at Pen-y-Pass.

He was a member of the 1953 British Expedition that made the first ascent of Mount Everest.
