Barry Bishop was a renowned mountaineer and photographer for National Geographic who played a pivotal role in organizing a covert C.I.A. mission in the 1960s aimed at spying on China by installing surveillance equipment on Nanda Devi. His extensive climbing experience and connections within the mountaineering community made him an ideal candidate for leading the operation, which resulted in the loss of a nuclear device due to harsh weather conditions.
