The Boys of Everest

Chris Bonington and the Tragic Story of Climbing`s Greatest Generation

The Boys of Everest is the story of a band of climbers who reinvented
mountaineering during the three decades following Everest`s first ascent.
Their leader was Chris Bonington and his `inner circle` as they came to be
known became climbing`s greatest generation. They took part in some of the
most legendary expeditions of all time and paid an enormous price – most are
now dead and one asks: was it all worth it, this book attempts to answer that
very question.
