Basingstoke Theodolite Hyphen-Hyphen

Basingstoke Theodolite Hyphen-Hyphen (1863-1921). Withdrawn from boarding school by his parents at the age of 3, he was dispatched to India to pursue a career in the Army. In 1874, while on a surveying expedition, he became the first European to climb Mount Not Very Tall which, at just 6 feet, turned out to be the smallest mountain in the Himalayas. Following his death, his body was interred at the summit, and the base and all down one side.
