Himalaya - The Tribulations of Mick & Vic

Mick Fowler and Victor Saunders famed British alpinists learned to know each other while winter climbing in Scotland in all kind of weather mostly bad: an ideal stepping stone for great Himalayan adventures. They shared three expeditions in Pakistan: The ascents of Bojohagur (7329m) Spantik (7027m) and Ultar (7388m). The tales of these selected adventures published separately over three of their books (rewarded several times - Banff festival Boardman Tasker) have been assembled in a new book: HIMALAYA - Mick and Vic' Tribulations. The two pals' tales are intertwined and offer two visions sometimes similar sometimes different of the same events with a caustic humour at the turn of every single line. This refreshing compelling text full of funny and uncommon anecdotes is also the story of their strong friendship. Besides the amateurs of mountaineering tales this book should please the amateurs of unconventional atmospheres.
