Whilst studying geology at Imperial College London, he led his first expedition to the Ecuadorian Andes where he made first British ascents within the El Altar massif as well as assisting David Kirke of the Dangerous Sports Club glide from the summit of Chimborazo. In 1986, he was made a National Officer of the British Mountaineering Council. Shortly after his appointment, he led a bold traverse of Chogolisa and Bride Peak in the Karakoram which was later documented in his book ''Coming Through''.

On 14 March 1992, he fell while climbing Eagle Ridge in Lochnagar, the Cairngorms, claiming his life.〔("Imperial College Mountaineering Club" ), In Memoriam 1993.〕 At his funeral, Chris Bonington gave the eulogy. His book ''Himalaya Alpine-style'', co-authored with Stephen Venables, was published after his death in 1995. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andy Fanshawe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
