Found I enjoyed Clarke's contributions somewhat more than the other chap. Bonington surprises himself when he discovers that he enjoys small self contained explorations which don't even include the peak of a difficult mountain as their objective! (Has he heard of Smythe, Shipton, Tilman, et al?) Yet he returns next year with the usual juggernaut. Great read none the less.
Not the best mountaineering book I've ever read, but still worth picking up. It interested me particularly because the climbing takes a back seat - it's almost a travel book. Sepu Kangri and its surroundings sound beautiful. I find it amazing that there are still places like this left to discover on Earth.
