Dealer Notes
Shipton, with his sometime climbing partner Bill Tilman, was one of the foremost climbers of the twentieth century. Known for his lightweight expeditions, he led the 1951 Everest reconnaissance but was replaced as leader for the 1953 Everest expedition by John Hunt. He subsequently explored and climbed in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.
