About This Book

A classic parody of mountaineering chronicles that satirizes the heroic tone of 1950s exploration accounts. The story follows a bumbling British expedition led by the narrator, Binder, as they attempt to conquer the 40,000-and-a-half-foot peak of Rum Doodle in the fictional land of Yogistan.
