Second episode of 'The climbers', a six-part series on the history of mountaineering by Chris Bonington and Richard Else produced by the BBC. In this episode, Chris Bonington makes a two-week trek to the Diamir Face of the Nanga Parbat -the most unforgiving of mountains- in the company of German mountaineer Sigi Hupfauer and the American veteran Charles Houston. Bonington considers the part this mountain played in the development of climbing nationalism between the wars when rival national teams competed to conquer this and other peaks.
