Description

Published by Hutchinson, London, 1985, 1st UK Edition, Insc, D/w, Fine.   Highly regarded ‘expedition book’ by poet and non-climber Greig who accompanied Mal Duff’s 1984 expedition – it has refreshing candour, wit, insight and humour.  The relatively unknown team made the third ascent of this spectacular Karakoram mountain, with Mal Duff, Tony Brindle, Jon Tinker and Sandy Allan all reaching the summit.  The first ascent (by Joe Brown and Tom Patey) and second ascent had been made in 1956, 28 years earlier.  Shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Award in 1985.
