Last week I posted the first video from Alex Barber’s climb of Manaslu last year, but didn’t get the chance to share his second. That was a major oversight on my part because it includes the most important part, Alex reaching the summit of the mountain. You’ll find that in the video below, which shares more of his solo expedition without oxygen.
At the moment, Alex is in Base Camp on Annapurna and preparing to make his first acclimatization rotation once the weather permits. He’ll be attempting a solo, no O’s summit on that mountain this spring as well.
