Doug Scott & Wojtek Kurtyka in 1987

Doug Scott (UK) and Wojtek Kurtyka (Poland) - two climbers of international renown. Seen here celebrating Voytek's 40th birthday at Doug Scott's 1987 K2 Base Camp July 1987. The 3rd person is Carolyn, American vet who doubled as expedition doctor - but also chef - and who had baked a cake for Wojtek at 5000m!

Pronunciation and spelling

'Voytek' is how we pronounce the name, but it is actually spelt 'Wojtek'.
