‘In the Himalaya, the only certain proof of a route is to try it.’ T.G. Longstaff.
The remote untrodden valleys of Pakistan's Ghujerab Mountains and the area NE of Shimshal offer plenty for the exploratory mountaineer. A team of five Alpine Club members headed there in September 2022 in search of unclimbed peaks. In this lecture Nick talks about his first attempts as leader of an expedition.
