The Conquest of Annapurna

Marcel Ichac's award-winning film about the conquest of Annapurna by a French team in 1950. At the time, Annapurna was the highest peak ever scaled.

The film is introduced by Captain Henry Day, one of the two army officers sponsored by the Army Mountaineering Association, who, 20 years later, took the same route and reached the summit on 20 May this year.
Captain Day is the first to acknowledge the debt mountaineers owe to the Frenchmen Maurice Herzog and the late Louis Lachenal who suffered such severe hardships in their battle with the world's tenth highest mountain.
