Adventurer Leon McCarron interviews Tony Howard about his life and his new book, Quest into the Unknown. Tony rose to fame in 1965 as one of a group of young climbers who made the first British ascent of Norway’s Troll Wall; a climb described by Joe Brown as, ‘One of the greatest ever achievements by British rock climbers’. Tony and his wife, Di Taylor, have explored all over North Africa and the Middle East, surviving in many of these countries by living with the enigmatic Bedouin tribes.
In this interview Tony talks about developing climbing and adventure tourism in Jordan and climbing and exploring in Iran, Sudan, Arctic Canada, Morocco and Algeria. He also discusses the development of modern climbing equipment with which he was greatly involved as well as exploring the Sinai Trail and the relationship between climbing and travel.
