Andre Norton is probably the all time winner for long passages without dialog, whom I've read. Reading "Storm Over Warlock," and then "Ordeal in Otherwhere" -- multiple 20-30 page sequences without a word spoken, and this is an experience I've frequently had with her books.
Don't hear me saying they're bad books. They do tend to be what used to be called boy's books, adventure novels, but they are well done. Could be shorter: "And then I climbed down the mountain. What have you been up to?"
