Frank Smythe joined the 1933, 1936, and 1938 expeditions on the strength of his having been the successful leader of the first ascent of Kamet (25,446 feet/ 7756 m) in 1931, accompanied by Shipton, Birnie, and Greene.
Like Greene and Tilman, Smythe was educated at Berkhamsted School, where a heart murmur kept him off the football pitch.
Smythe was invalided out of the RAF in 1927, but went on to join Professor Dyhrenfurth’s international expedition to Kangchenjunga in 1930.
