Chris Bonnington

Chris Bonnington when he finally reached the summit of Mount Everest in 1985. He reached lonely...because all he had tried to reach the summit with in the last 14 years were now dead...somewhere around the summit....all of them...Peter Boardman, Joe Tasker...all had died in previous years trying to reach the summit....

"I crouched in a foetal position and cried and cried in great gasping sobs tears of exhaustion, tears of sorrow for so many friends, and yet tears of fulfillment for something I had so much needed to do and had done with people who had come to mean a great deal to me."
