Opis:
Last fall, the Nepalese government granted climbing permit access to more than 300 unclimbed peaks that range from 5,800 to 7,900 meters. Melissa Arnot, co-founder of the Juniper Fund, journeyed to three of these peaks last fall hoping to rediscover her love for high-altitude climbing in the extremely remote Upper Mustang region of the Himalayas. Securing permits for three previously unclimbed peaks with limited beta and poor maps, Arnot tackled an exploratory, self-supported climb with guide Ben Jones and filmer Jon Mancuso. In part two of the Mustang Mystery series, we follow the climb from the tiny mountain outpost of ChungChung to Camp 2 en route to a recon on Mansail Peak.
