To Climb the "Unclimable"

It’s been 43 years since Barry Bishop and three others were the first to make it to the summit of a mountain that Sir Edmund Hillary had previously called “unclimable” and “fantastically difficult.” This month, Wally Berg and Grant Meekins are guiding an expedition for Berg Adventures International that will follow the same route up the southwest ridge. Please join us for continuous expedition coverage.
