Ask the man in the street to name a British mountaineer, and the response would, in all probability, be our patron, @ChrisBonington, who today, 6 August 2024, celebrates his 90th birthday. Read the full article via the link below. https://t.co/kznwzVDKMR #mountaineer

Great little bit of post-Everest '75 ephemera just in at MHT! Doug's light-hearted response to being presented with a safety disclaimer to sign for the Dovedale Dash (weeks after being one of the first Britons, with Dougal Haston, to reach the summit of #Everest) is hilarious.
