The Ascent of Rum Doodle |
Thrill to an epic tale of derring-do as a doughty brotherhood of British climbers pit their wits against the unconquered Mt. Rum Doodle. A naive and self-deceptive official expedition account, Rum Doodle is stylistically roped firmly between Diary of a Nobody and Ripping Yarns with a hint of Milligan lurking in the mountain mists. Imagined heroism becomes absurdity as we gaze pensively into the middle distance at the awesome crag and wonder "Will it go?"
