Narendra Kumar (1933-2020) was a highly decorated Indian soldier and mountaineer, best known as the deputy leader of the first successful Indian expedition to the summit of Mt. Everest in 1965. His landmark expeditions to Everest, Kangchenjunga, and Nanda Devi, and his crucial reconnaissance efforts for the Indian Army on the Siachen Glacier in 1984, ultimately led to Kumar's promotion to the rank of Colonel and his wider recognition as one of the leading figures in the field of mountaineering in India. He remains the only Colonel to have received the coveted Param Vishisht Seva Medal, the highest peacetime medal of the Indian Armed Forces. As President of the Indian Institute of Skiing and Mountaineering, Kumar - or 'Bull' as he was affectionately known - led a successful group ski expedition to Trisul in 1976, as recorded here definitively by the participants themselves. It has since been considered the highest summit to ever be skied down at the time (at an astounding 7120m). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
