Joe Brown, Slim Sorrell & Pete Cargill, Langdale Pikes :G Kitchin collection Via Footlesscrow Most guys my age had their introduction to Joe Brown after a boring day at school, seeing him on News Round or it might have been Blue Peter? The hard as nails climber was in a feature along with Don Whillans showing old footage from climbing techniques in the 60’s it opened the main slot of the Chris Bonington Special on Mt. Everest. I can remember my P.E. teacher having one of his later cordura rucksacks that he’d hump his sweaty gear around in (it was so flaky & stank so bad 🧀.) Joes peerless rock climbing and feats of conquering Kanchenjunga & Muztagh Tower are only a small amount of his legacy as are the techniques he developed and routes he led.
