Roar Of A Thousand Tigers

About
Roar Of A Thousand Tigers is Gareth Farr’s response to a commission of the Hillary Centenary Steering Committee in the year that celebrates 100 years since the birth of Sir Edmund Hillary. The work’s title takes its name from Sherpa Tenzing Norgay’s description to Sir Edmund of the violent, high altitude icy winds that buffet the uppermost slopes of Mount Everest.
