Don Whillans has an iconic significance for generations of
climbers. His epoch-making first ascent of Annapurna's South Face,
achieved with Dougal Haston in 1970, remains one of the most
impressive climbs ever made - but behind this and all his other
formidable achievements lies a tough, recalcitrant reality: the
character of the man himself. Whillans carried within himself a
sense of personal invincibility, forceful, direct and
uncompromising. It gave him sporting superstar status - the flawed
heroism of a Best, a McEnroe, an Ali. In his own circle, his image
was the working-class hero on the rock-face, laconic and bellicose,
ready to go to war with the elements or with any human who crossed
his path on a bad day.
