About this book
A classic mountaineering adventure book. Except that it is well written, humourous and young-at-heart. The cast were all at school together and of similar age - early twenties. First time in the Andes and first attempt at a first-ascent. Apart from some confusion over where the sun sets in the southern hemisphere, all went to plan. One big mountain climbed for thr first time. Most mountaineering books get remaindered. This one didn't.
