Banks' autobiography described his early climbing which took him from Cornwall to Malta and Cyprus, from Scotland to the Alps, and on to Greenland as a member of the 1955 British North Greenland Expedition. He was a member of the 1956 attempt on Rakapopshi and two years later led the British Combined Services Expedition which made the first ascent of Rakaposhi. This is a slightly abridged edition of his earlier book ‘Commando Climber’. Neate B34.
