Unlike "Into The Silence" it, thankfully does not spend too long on the journey to the mountains. What struck me most was that very little had changed between the twenties and the fifties; the organisations at home in Britain seemed as stuffy as ever; the technology, particularly in relation to oxygen was almost unchained; and the enthusiastic amateurism was still the rule, rather than the exception.
