George Band, the youngest member of the successful Everest team and his climbing companion Joe Brown, one of the first pair to climb Kangchenjunga, tells the story of the 1954 Cambridge University Mountaineering Club's expedition in Northern Pakistan, its objective being Rakaposhi - one of the grandest mountains. This is a lively and vivid account of the whole adventure, beginning with the departure of the overland party from Cambridge. Three of this party drove the whole way to Rawalpindi, via Dover, Paris, Lucerne, Trieste, Belgrade, Istanbul, Damascus, Tehran, Quetta and Peshawar. The expedition then made its way to the Karakoram and Rakaposhi, where although weather robbed them of any chance of an attempt on the summit, these six young mountaineers achieved and experienced much and gave - in Eric Shipton's words - 'a fine example of what may be achieved by a privately conducted expedition on a high and difficult peak'. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
