The Ascent of Rum Doodle is a short 1956 novel by W. E. Bowman (1911–1985). It is a parody of the non-fictional chronicles of mountaineering expeditions (notably H. W. Tilman's account of the ascent of Nanda Devi and Maurice Herzog's book Annapurna chronicling the first ascent of Annapurna in Nepal) that were popular during the 1950s, as many of the world's highest peaks were climbed for the first time. A new edition was released in 2001 with an introduction by the contemporary humorist Bill Bryson. It has been critically well received. Though a parody, it has become one of the most famous and celebrated books of mountaineering literature.

  • Die Besteigung des Rum Doodle (The Ascent of Rum Doodle) ist ein 1956 erschienener, kurzer satirischer Roman des Briten William Ernest Bowman (1911–1985). Bowman parodiert mit der Schilderung einer Expedition auf den 40.000½ Fuß hohen Berg Rum Doodle im fiktiven Land Yogistan den bombastischen Schreibstil, der für britische Expeditionsberichte im Zeitraum von 1930 bis 1950 typisch war. Beeinflussend für Bowmans Roman waren vor allem der Bericht von Bill Tilman über die Erstbesteigung des Nanda Devi sowie der Bericht von Maurice Herzog über die Erstbesteigung des Annapurna. (de)

  • The Ascent of Rum Doodle is een korte novelle uit 1956 geschreven door de Britse auteur (1911-1985). Het is een parodie op de non-fictie verslagen van bergbeklimmingsexpedities, met name het boek Annapurna van de hand van Maurice Herzog, waarin de eerste beklimming van de top van de berg Annapurna I in Nepal wordt beschreven. Deze boeken waren populair in de jaren 50 van de twintigste eeuw, voornamelijk vanwege het feit dat destijds vele bergtoppen voor het eerst bereikt werden. (nl)
