Travel video news

The short documentary film below is another in a line of remarkable mountaineering and climbing documentaries that we've seen in recent months. This time, we travel to the Garwhal Himalaya in Indian to join British climbers Malcolm Bass, Paul Figg and Guy Buckingham as they set out to make the first ascent of Janhukot, a remote and technically difficult peak that has eluded attempts in the past.

You can follow along with that portion of the tale here . Janhukot 2018 from Pertex on Vimeo .

With that, here are a few news items worth mentioning from the past couple of days.  ExWeb is reporting that a Polish team on Manaslu has pulled the plug on their climb. The group has stayed on the mountain long after the big commercial squads have completed their expeditions and have gone home. Nepali officials say that more than 220 foreign climbers summited the peak this fall, but the eight Poles who were currently there won't be among them.  Shifting weather conditions and increased avalanche danger are to blame for the end of the expedition. Apparently, more than a meter of snow fell on the mountain earlier in the week, which is making it very diffi...
