This print takes us back to the historic moment when the British Everest Expedition team gathered for a press conference, celebrating their triumphant ascent of the South West Face of Everest on September 24th, 1975. The atmosphere is charged with excitement and pride as these fearless climbers bask in their remarkable achievement. The press conference took place at Barclays Bank, located at 17 Gracechurch Street in London's EC3 district. Standing shoulder to shoulder from left to right are Douglas Haston, Doug Scott, and Peter Bordman - three extraordinary individuals who etched their names into mountaineering history that day. It was Haston and Scott who reached the summit first, becoming the first-ever British climbers to conquer this formidable peak. Captured on October 17th, just weeks after their awe-inspiring feat, this image encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in alpinism but also showcases the spirit of exploration and adventure that defined an entire era.
