I'm developing something close to an obsession on this, so thought I would collate some of the pics all in one place.

Must have been an amazing experience for everyone involved.

That second pic is breathtaking, just look at the back drop.

This is a good shot. Crossing the Antarctic I believe.

Got me wondering about the Cabourn Everest Parka. I'd always assumed the 'original' colour was orange, but looking at some of the colour pics above, Hillary seems to be wearing a blue jacket.

Notice the rolled up Union Jack Tenzing has in his hand in the fourth pic down.

Ta. Some footage there I hadn't seen before.

Had it bookmarked from a few years ago. Its a good watch.

Have a first issue copy of "High Adventure". Will dig it out when iv finished moving and take a few snaps for you.

Great pics. Thanks for that. Nicely juxtaposed with the Fracaps; or were they the nearest things to hand. ; )

Go on then, I'll bite: why?

book with the fracaps keeping the pages open.

i inserted an ellipsis to avoid a huge thread.

It was either that or my slippers, and they weren't heavy enough. Granted that was the best thing those Fracaps where good for. Face them with ice or snow, useless.

Are they no good in bad weather, Dan?

the two pair I had where dreadful in the snow last year.

Surprised at that, like.

Good pictures anyhow

Rather pointless shoe to be fair.

Awful looking and they don't even do the job they are modelled on.

Cracking images right here, thanks for sharing lads!

Boom! Bit harsh about one of our national heroes (and I'm not referring to Russ) although I do agree about the tweed.

Superb images, thanks for posting

Great spot on Russ Abbot too

Loving the pics.
I have a similar thing with Ernest Shackleton and his south pole adventures
