The Boys of Everest: Chris Bonington and the Tragedy of Climbing's Greatest Generation.

Description:

This tells the story of a band of climbers who reinvented mountaineering during the three decades after Everest's first ascent. It is a story of courage, astonishing achievement and heart-breaking loss. Their leader was the boyish, fanatically driven Chris Bonington. His inner circle, they came to be known as Bonington's Boys, included a dozen who became climbing's greatest generation. Bonington's Boys gave birth to a new brand of climbing. They took increasingly terrible risks on now, legendary expeditions to the world's most fearsome peaks.
