This challenge was achieved much later – in 1957/8 – and one of the key members of that journey was Everest veteran George Lowe who was there to capture it on film.

In this illustrated talk Huw Lewis-Jones brings his story brilliantly to life.

He is also the author of The Conquest of Everest on Lowe’s photography.
