We are all climbing where we are and with the gear we use in no small part due
\nto Tony Howard’s quest for adventure. Tony Howard rose to fame in 1965 as a
\nmember of a group of young climbers from northern England who made the first
\nBritish ascent of Norway’s Troll Wall; a climb described by Joe Brown as,
\n«One of the greatest ever achievements by British rock climbers».<\/p>\n
Tony went on to design the modern sit harness, now used universally by every
\nclimber in the world. He founded the company Troll Climbing Equipment but
\nnever stopped exploring. Quest into the Unknown is his story.<\/p>\n
Tony has dedicated his life to travelling the world in search of unclimbed
\nrock faces and remote trekking adventures. The scale of his travels is vast:
\nhe has visited all of the North African countries, much of the Arab land of
\nthe Middle East, the mountainous regions of Scandinavia, Canada and the rocky
\nspine of the Americas, the Himalaya, remote Indian provinces, South East Asia,
\nSouth Georgia and Antarctica.<\/p>\n
This book, the last word in adventure travel, takes the reader from Tony’s
\nyouth spent developing the crags of the English Peak District, via whaling
\nships in the Southern Ocean, thousand-mile canoe trips in the Canadian Arctic,
\nliving amongst the Bedouin in the rocky mountains of Jordan, to the isolated
\nopium tribes of Thailand. Tony Howard’s Quest into the Unknown is the jaw-
\ndropping account of a life of adventure that is the very definition of true
\nexploration. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
