CALL OF THE KARAKORAM

James Price (‪@intothekarakoram‬) is one of a small group of climbers to practice solo climbing in the gigantic mountains of Pakistan 🇵🇰. Like an artist, he weaves his line on the high peaks, working with nature to find new routes and climb where no one has climbed before.
In March 2020, amidst a global pandemic, James finds himself stranded in the village of Ganish (Northern Pakistan, Hunza Valley). Working in the fields and helping the local community, he forms special ties with the local community.
Directed and Edited by Sébastien Carniato

Standing ovations! Solo in mountins while providing spectacular pictures and incredible story. So much said with just few words and imagination will do rest what was happening there for those 18 days.

Thank you! 🙏

[@aaronwalker8847]

Great video guys. Thanks for sharing that courageous and challenging adventure. Man! That dude skiing with those blistered frost bitten feet is real soldja! That junk hurt me. Oof! Great job though, and Im glad dude made it down after 18 days on the mountain. Too bad he didn't accomplish his goal, but it was something what he did. Even without the linkup. 1 of 3 dudes to summit is a big honor. Congratulations.

[@sebastien_carniato]

Thank you Aaron 🤍

[@icarusswings]

​@@intothekarakoram how DO you ski with such frostbitten toes? It must be excruciating to just get the boots on.

[@TravellingDarvesh]

This is by far the best video I have ever seen about the Mountains and I have seen a lot. I know most of the Karakoram peaks like the back of my hand but these traverses and how you navigated through crevasses is nothing short of a miracle. Next time you are in Pak. A huge feast is on me brother.
