Maurice Herzog

Herzog was a French alpinist most famously associated with the conquest of Annapurna in June 1950. This was the first 8000 metre peak to be climbed, a feat made more remarkable by the climbers' decision not to use supplemental oxygen during the climb. Although the climb was successful the descent became a two-week epic, from which Herzog narrowly escaped with his life.

Herzog's book of the expedition, Annapurna, has long been regarded as one of the most significant and inspirational texts in the mountaineering genre.

Herzog subsequently enjoyed successful careers in politics (including as French Minister for Sport from 1958 - 1963) and sports administration (including as a member of the International Olympic Committee from 1970 - 1995).

Fergus White

Fergus White, from Dublin Ireland, had wondered for some time how far he might be able to push himself. He pondered if the grand adventures he’d seen on TV and read about in newspapers and books were for some reason off-limits to him. Were feats of daring-do only open to certified explorers, round the world yachtsmen, and ex special-forces?

There was only one way to find out, and clocking in and out of banks as an IT consultant was not going to answer that question.

He travelled to the Himalayas to train as a mountaineer. He returned the following year to attempt Everest. His book, Ascent in Hell, published in 2017, details that adventure.
