UP AND ABOUT: THE HARD ROAD TO EVEREST (PB) (VERTEBRATE)

At dusk on 24 September 1975, Doug Scott and Dougal Haston became the first Britons to reach the summit of Everest, as lead climbers on Chris Bonington’s epic expedition. They returned to Britain national heroes, and Scott went on to become one of Britain's greatest ever mountaineers, pioneering new climbs in the remotest corners of the globe. In this first volume of his autobiography, he tells his story from his birth in Nottingham during the darkest days of war to the summit of the world.
