  1. New video out this Friday!!

    I convinced my friend Evan to join me on a 30 day expedition where we climbed, hiked, and drove over 2500km across Pakistan in search of the tallest mountains on Earth

  2. With the Matterhorn so close by, the Ober Gabelhorn (4063m) is probably a bit underappreciated, so perfect for a bit of Mountain-Monday-spotlighting.

  4. Here's an example of #China using cinematic feature films as #nationalist #propaganda. It's a very well done, high budget film. You can see how dramatic films like these are used to promote nationalistic pride. These state approved propaganda films are disguised as entertainment & are designed to brainwash citizens, over time.

    It's really not that different than how the USA film industry creates a lot of state approved propaganda films that aid/abet nationalistic BS too.

    *Qomolangma is #Tibetan for #MountEverest
    ‐----------
    " It is based on the real-life expedition of four #Chinese #mountaineers in 1960. Two generations of Chinese mountaineers who scaled Mount #Qomolangma from the perilous north side in 1960 and 1975. Finally in 1975 they held the last chance and successfully reached the top of Qomolangma. It was the first success in the history of mankind to climb Qomolangma's north side. "

  5. Six action-packed days in the mountains! Overcrowded mountain huts, little sleep, physical exertion at over 3000 metres — it's an incredible experience! Why? Because sunrises in the mountains are magical, I was able to climb a 4000-metre peak again, make new friends and push my own limits. I'm tired, but I would be ready to get going again right away!

    But it's raining today... 😉

  6. I love wikipedia pages with embedded in-jokes. I found a mountain page where only failed ascents are listed, and only amusing failures are detailed. No mention of successful ascents, not even the first. And it's only funny if you know why. (No link because some humourless pedant might edit it.)
