Publisher's Synopsis
An outrageous account of the ascent of a 40,000-and-a-half-foot peak. It is the hilarious story of a group of endearing incompetents who set out to conquer the world's highest peak. Binder, the leader of the party, heads a singularly ill-assorted team of comic immortals such as Jungle, the route-finder who cannot find his way to any assembly point, and Wish, the scientist conducting dotty experiments on the boiling point of ice.
