"Brown also operated in the greater ranges, and made history with climbing partner George Band when they grabbed the only British first ascent of an 8000m peak with their ascent of Kanchenjunga in 1955."
Jack, I have no greater ranges experience and I am not up with the terminology so could you tell me how anyone could ever do another British first ascent of Kachenjunga given that you state that theirs was the only one?
