Norway, 1965. A team of young climbers from the north of England camp at the bottom of the tallest vertical rock face in Europe
- the Troll Wall. No one has dared attempt this gigantic challenge before. Some say it will never be climbed. This will be the adventure of a lifetime. Rain & snow soak them as they climb. Avalanches & loose rock threaten their lives. A Norwegian team arrives to compete for the glory as the world`s media look on. Pushed to the limits of exhaustion, the team spends days on the wall, refusing to given in, even when failure seems certain. ” Troll Wall” tells the gripping story of one of the most dramatic first ascents in British climbing history. Written days after their success, almost half a century ago, & newly rediscovered, Tony Howard`s account is a fascinating insight into the challenges of climbing a big mountain wall.
