Trango (Nameless) Tower in the Karakoram was first climbed in 1976 by the legendary British climber Joe Brown, along with Mo Anthoine, Martin Boysen, and Malcolm Howells.
First ascent of this now famous peak in the Karakoram: Joe Brown, Mo Anthoine, Martin Boysen. Jim Curran has been present in and around the epicentre of the British climbing scene (or Sheffield, as it presumes to call itself) from seemingly time immemorial. In fact his deep involvement dates from the early 70s when, as a self-admitted 'moderate climber' and easily distracted lecturer in Art and Design at Bristol Polytechnic, he began making expedition films involving the Great and the Good. He's never really looked back since, completing several award-winning film projects and numerous books.
