Eine grandiose Bergsteigersatire aus den 50er Jahren und die abenteuerliche Geschichte einer Expedition, bei der so gut wie alles schief geht. An outrageously funny spoof about the ascent of a 40,000-and-a-half-foot peak, The Ascent of Rum Doodle has been a cult favourite since its publication in 1956. With an introduction by Bill Bryson.

Tells how led by the reliably under-insightful Binder, a team of seven British men including Dr Prone (constantly ill); Jungle the route finder (constantly lost), Constant the diplomat (constantly arguing) and 3,000 Yogistani porters, set out to conquer the highest peak in the Himalayas.
