The golden age of Himalayan mountaineering, from the mid 1970s to the 1980s, brought forth a generation of radical young climbers. With tiny budgets and high ambitions they pioneered small scale, Alpine-style expeditions on mountains such as Jannu, Nuptse, Everest, and K2. In

Mike Geddes
John Whittle
Roger Baxter-Jones
