Loosely modelled on a 1937 account of Bill Tilman's Nanda Devi expedition, The Ascent of Rum Doodle riotously parodies the familiar tropes of 1950s mountaineering literature. Bowman's intrepid cast of characters may come from all walks of life, but are similarly at a loss when it comes to their supposed specialties... Prone, the expedition's doctor, is constantly incapacitated by sudden illnesses; Jungle, charged with navigation, is forever losing his way and cabling for money from obscure locations; and Constant, who alone speaks the native language of their guides and porters, through linguistic error provokes not just one but several riots. Led by Binder, whose narration would have you believe his crew and mission to represent nothing short of historic bravery and grit, these daring incompetents cut their path to the summit (sort of).

Reinhold wouldn´t make it to this summit!
You are interested in mountaineering and have already been reading books by Reinhold Messner, Jon Krakauer and all the other famous people who tell of their adventures on the world´s highest peaks? OK, now here is news for you. Bet you have never heard or read about the first ascent of Mount Rum Doodle, altitude 40.000,5 ft. Imagine Douglas Adams and Monty Python together on a mountain trip – here we are, this book is the amazing and funny result of such a meeting. First published in 1956, it was unknown to the public for most of the time, only some insiders knew of it´s existence. Enjoy it! (See also: Mortimer/ Pruzan, Die scheußlichsten Länder der Welt)
