摘要

In 1953 the Himalayan Committee of the Royal Geographical Society met to choose a leader for the latest attempt to climb Mount Everest. Eric Shipton was the obvious man for the job: a gentleman-adventurer who knew the mountain better than anyone. The committee gave him the nod. But then the grandees had second thoughts. Shipton took amateurism to absurd lengths; he had even forgotten to bring a backpack on one expedition. And foreign rivals were threatening to reach the top first. In an inspired move they replaced Shipton with his psychological oppo-site-a methodical and self-effacing military man named John Hunt-replacing one idea of mountaineering (gentlemanly amateurism) with a very different one (meticulous organisation).
