This is the story of "Brummie" Stokes, one of Britain's most accomplished mountaineers. His varied life includes service with the Greenjackets, SAS and the army in the Falklands. In the summer of 1988 he makes his second attempt leading an 18-strong team of British mountaineers to meet the challenge of the unconquered Northeast ridge of Everest which has defeated so many. The expedition will be monitored by satellite and an account of the attempt is included in the book. In detail, he talks us through the various stages of preparation - mental and physical - for a big climb, reliving the dangers and thrills of conquering a summit.
