Everest calling

by Lorna Siggins

'Everest Calling' is an account of the first Irish ascent of the world's highest mountain in 1993 by Dawson Stelfox, following the route used by Mallory and Irvine in 1924. This updated edition not only recalls that groundbreaking success in 1993, but also chronicles the many exploits in the decades since which include the first Irishwoman to summit on Everest, Clare O'Leary, and Pat Falvey, who climbed it by two different routes.
