Para 19

neighbour Makalu, unexplored and
unclimbed. Far away across the clouds,
the great bulk of Kanchenjunga loomed
on the horizon. To the west, we could
see the great unexplored ranges of Nepal
stretching off into the distance.

showing the North Col and the old route
which had been made famous by the

clumsy-fingered and slow-moving. So I
quickly replaced my oxygen set

Describe the view from the top. What was the most important photograph? (Para 19 and 20)
