The Ascent of Rum Doodle is a classic 1956 comic novel by W. E. Bowman that satirizes mountaineering expeditions, following a bumbling team led by the incompetent Mr. Binder as they attempt to climb the fictional 40,000-foot Rum Doodle mountain in Yogistan. The book is known for its hilarious portrayal of the team’s mishaps, including the perpetually ill Dr. Prone, the lost navigator Mr. Jungle, and the riot-causing Mr. Constant, and has become a celebrated parody of the genre.
Enjoy!
