The Last Great Mountain

The Last Great Mountain chronicles the challenging and historic first ascent of Kangchenjunga, the world's third highest and renowned difficult mountain, by a British team led by Charles Evans. Spanning from early 20th-century expeditions to the eventual achievement by Joe Brown and George Band, the book draws on interviews, diaries, and unpublished accounts to tell the story of this remarkable climbing feat. As the final installment in Mick Conefrey's acclaimed high-altitude trilogy, it offers a detailed and engaging look at this legendary mountaineering accomplishment.
