Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, was first conquered in 1953. Since then the ultimate challenge to mountaineers the world over was to get to the top of Everest by the most difficult route - the South West Face. Since 1970. five strong expeditions have tried and failed. The autumn 1975 expedition, led by Chris Bonington , was successful.
Chris Bonington recounts the story of this great British achievement, with the help of recordings made on the mountain as the climb progressed. It is a story of leadership, organisation and unselfish co-operation that led to a great success tinged with tragedy. Producer ROY HAYWARD BBC Bristol
