Matt Dickinson was a member of the British Himalayan Kingdoms team assigned to film Alan Hinkes 8000m quest. He reached Everest’s summit, via the North Ridge, and became the first Briton to film on the summit, and return. He presents his views of the 1996 season including an account of the three Indo-Tibetan Border Police expedition members who died on the north side. The UK hardcover edition is now out of print. In the US this was retitled ‘The Other Side of Everest’.
