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. The three men conducted this expedition back in May of this year and their story not only unfolds in the fantastic video but will also be told over the coming weeks on the Pertex website, which is a company that served as one of their sponsors. You can follow along with that portion of the tale here.
