NOTE CHANGE OF TIME
The ascent of Everest by a British team in 1953 was a triumph of heroic leadership, teamwork and courageous climbing, but the vital role that scientific innovation played in the success of the expedition has never been widely acknowledged. In her award-winning book, Everest – The First Ascent: the untold story of Griffith Pugh, the man who made it possible, Harriet Tuckey tells the story of her father Dr Griffith Pugh, a physiologist and expert on extreme conditions, who made the ascent possible by solving key physiological problems of climbing at extreme altitudes.
