About This Item
Phoenix Paperbacks. Softcover. Very Good. 6x0x7. In Very Good+ condition. Known as the human fly, Joseph Brown CBE (1930 â 2020) was an English mountaineer who was regarded as an outstanding pioneer of rock climbing during the 1950s and early 1960s. Together with his early climbing partner, Don Whillans, he was one of a new breed of British post-war climbers who came from working class backgrounds in contrast to the upper and middle class professionals who had dominated the sport up to the Second World War. He became the first person to climb the third-highest mountain in the world when he was on the 1955 British Kangchenjunga expedition. Reviewing Brown's autobiography The Hard Years in 1967, the climber A. B. Hargreaves said: This is a remarkable book by a remarkable man. As for the man, the hard man, the climber, his achievements both in rock climbing and mountaineering have been very great. In twenty years he has become a legend.
