Changabang and the mirrors of a repetition

- Should alpinists who set out to climb a face feel any less joy or pain than the first ascensionists? Shouldn't they have reason to feel the same apprehension, pride, and doubt? In spite of its modest altitude (6,864 m), the summit of Changabang, hidden in the Indian Himalaya, has seen few visitors but has already been the scene of far too many dramas. Each ascent of the mountain has been an epic feat, and making an alpine style ascent of the north face is an unprecedented challenge. The three alpinists from the French High Mountain Military Group had only a very short weather window during which they could attempt to conquer this thousand meter vertical wall. Their adventure provides the opportunity to explore questions about what pushes humans to face the dangers and maledictions of a mountain.

It’s the slopes before the actual climb starts that gets me. The Eiger north face slope is terrifying. This looks worse.
Am I the only one that thinks this face/route has no equivalents in the Alps? If we take away the altitude, it still looks technically a lot harder than any of the routes on Grandes Jorasses, the Heckmair route on Eiger, Schmidt route on Matterhorn, or anything on Les Courtes/Droites etc
amazing doc
Just finished reading The Shining Mountain. This is amazing footage and great to hear the history, stories of the different climbs. Far out, those sleeping bag bivvies looked bloody horrifying!
Hey, I highly recommend Savage Arena by Joe Tasker to you! I just finished reading it and was blown away. It has a chapter on the Changabang ascent of Joe and Peter Boardman.

Got the book, reading that chapter now ☺️ 🏔️ ⛏️
Chapeau! Well done on the ascent. The difficulty, commitment and courage is self-evident. You guys are nails hard.
Wonderful film. Great story-telling, told through several dimensions and a rare humility.
Merci sincèrement pour l'ensemble de vos uploads, quel plaisir :)
Quand j'entends la facilité que vous associez à la redescente en cas de coup dure comme si vous étiez en grande voie à tirer des rappels sur relais chaînés (on en est quand même très loin ^^), j'imagine même pas le degré d'engagement à la monter!!! (je crois que je veux pas imaginer....)
Magnifique vidéo, merci pour la motiv', je penserai à vous pour engager au dessus des points en falaise! (une formalité quoi)
Great this.
