One of the very best expedition videos have ever seen in my life. Wish I were a part of this wonderful international team and partake in the Baruntse climb
Good luck! It is an awesome combo of mountains! Who are you thinking of going with? I can't recommend Summit Climb highly enough - they are the team with outstanding Sherpas (many of whom have climbed Everest K2 etc), and who typically fix the ropes that everyone else uses...
Your video and images are fabulously stunning. This is something I'm considering and I will start by researching your team at Summit Climb. A a photographer, I'd love to know what photography/video equipment you used. Thanks again for sharing.
Hi, some of us on the expedition had been up Aconcagua before, which is 6,960m. But some had only been over 5,400m passes before. Technically, definitely crampons and ice axe are needed. As with most commercial himalayan climbs these days we used jumars on the steeper and narrower sections, which is less technical I guess. The climb up to the Western col is quite steep but doesn't require ice climbing moves or double ice axes. On summit day the section along the ridge is wonderfully exposed, and steep in a couple of places, but with fixed ropes was not too troubling.
Super awesome video Nick, truly a breeze of fresh air, thank you for sharing it !
Great footage mate. Looked like a great trip.

Hi there...may i know the climbing company please
It was Summit Climb
@@nickhop1979 thank you
Wow....
Amazing video! Amazing editing! Is this prior to Covid or right on the doorstep of COVID? And did it feel like 4 weeks or more or less

Hi, how difficult was it? Especially technical? Have you been experienced in High Altitude Mountaineering before?
