This biography of Tony Streather describes a man who was one of the
very great trailblazers of the golden age of Himalayan climbing in
the 1950s. Tony Streather was a professional soldier to the core,
serving in the North-West Frontier of India, Germany, Cyprus, North
Borneo and Northern Ireland among many assignments. But through a
chance meeting in post-Partition Pakistan, he became transport
officer to a Norwegian expedition to Tirich Mir and joined the
summit team that scaled the mountain for the first time. From that
moment onwards, he combined soldiering with a distinguished
mountaineering career. He summited Kangchenjunga as a member of the
second rope in 1955 and survived tragedies on K2 and Haramosh. Many
expeditions followed. His military career, which included
co-founding the Army Mountaineering Association, was exemplary. For
the first time, this authorized biography tells the full story of
Tony Streather, soldier and mountaineer.
