In the Media

Nicholas Hellen, Social Affairs Editor for The Sunday Times, published an extremely interesting article ‘The Untold rescue of top climbers from icy jaws of the Ogre’ in the last edition, dated November 12, 2017.

Nicholas describes the ascent of The Ogre as ‘one of the greatest mountaineering survival tales never told. Forty years after Sir Chris Bonington and Doug Scott, CBE, the British climbers, crawled to safety in an eight-day Himalayan epic, the full story of their ordeal has emerged in diaries and tape recordings from beyond the grave’.
