Excerpt: Caradog "Crag" Jones (born 1962) is a noted Welsh climber. Whilst he has achieved a number of firsts on peaks around the world, he is most well-known for being the first Welshman to reach the summit of Mount Everest, a feat he achieved on 23 May 1995, at the age of 33.

He has admitted that as a boy he was inspired by the exploits of the early Everest pioneers, whom he read about because they undertook much of their pre-expedition training in Snowdonia. Jones and Jorgensen were part of a larger world team, led by Henry Todd of the UK, and using Himalayan guides. Other members of the team were Paul Deegan (UK), Graham Ratcliffe (UK), Sean Smith (UK), Anatoli Boukreev (Kazakhstan), Mozart Catao (Brazil), Nicolas Chappaz (France), Waldemar Niclevicz (Brazil), Ryszard Pawlowski (Poland) and Nikolai Sitnikov (Russia). The first of the team to reach the summit was Ryszard Pawlowski, on 12 May, other groups following on 14 May and 17 May. Jones and Jorgensen formed the last group, reaching the summit on the 23rd May. The team took the northern route (North Col - North East Ridge) following that of the former fatal expedition of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine in 1924, and their climb was equally plagued by poor weather.
