That does look interesting. Pity it's not in Sydney...

I saw another exhibition of his photos in St Kilda a couple years ago - pretty cool if you like seeing cool old photos etc.

Sounds cool, I've been overdosing on the books of those early Everest expeditions recently will be good to see a visual account ...

The best possible book on early himalayan climbing is "the ascent of rum doodle"
a classic.
