Rakaposhi is one of the most famous mountains of the Karakoram range of Pakistan and is part of the Himalayas. The 25,550 feet mountain had resisted the attempts of six previous expeditions, starting with Lord Conway in 1892. This is the story of the British-Pakistani Forces expedition which conquered Rakaposhi in June, 1958. It was photographed by two of the expedition members. One of them, Captain Banks of the Royal Marines, finally reached the summit, together with Surgeon-Lieutenant Patey of the Royal Navy.
