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 and snow soak them as they climb. Avalanches and 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, and newly rediscovered, Tony Howard‘s account is a fascinating insight into the challenges of climbing a big mountain wall.

“One of the greatest ever achievements by British rock climbers.” – Joe Brown
