Library Talk - Kangchenjunga |
On 17 May, George Band came to the Club for the 55th anniversary year of his ascent of Kangchenjunga and told us about the first time he and Joe Brown climbed the third highest mountain in the world.
It was a fascinating and humorous talk, combined with a collection of illuminating slides that captured this amazing climb which in many ways was historical as they were the first British climbers to reach the summit.
