The Last Great Mountain
The First Ascent of Kangchenjunga
Langbeschreibung
The Last Great Mountain tells the story of the first ascent of Kangchenjunga the third highest but reputedly the hardest mountain in the world. It was an astonishing achievement for a British team led by Everest veteran Charles Evans. Drawing on interviews, diaries and unpublished accounts, Mick Conefrey begins his story in 1905 with the first, disastrous attempt on the mountain by a team led by Aleister Crowley, explores the three dramatic German expeditions of the the late 1920s and brings it all to a climax 50 years later with the first ascent by Joe Brown and George Band. The Last Great Mountain is the final instalment of Mick Conefrey's acclaimed high altitude trilogy.
Mick Conefrey is an internationally recognised film-maker and author; he has produced several BBC documentaries on exploration and mountaineering including the award winning series Icemen and Mountain Men. He lives in Oxford.
