The Triumph of Sepu Kangri
For Britain's best-known mountaineer, Chris Bonington, and his companion of many past expeditions, Charles Clarke, Tibet's "secret mountain" - Sepu Kangri - the highest peak of what is probably the largest unclimbed mountain range in the world, had long been a dream. They saw it first from the air twenty years ago but in those days central Tibet was still a forbidden land.
'Tibet's Secret Mountain' is not only an account of their attempts to explore and reach the summit of Sepu Kangri, but also a glimpse into the lives of the nomadic people of the Tibetan highlands. Forced back by the fiercest of winds, snow and poor visibility in 1997, the climbers returned in 1998 and came so close to success, reaching the west shoulder, close to the summit of Sepu Kangri.
