Video of the final summit climb

Reached the top of Mt Kilimanjaro at the first light of Feb 19, 2020, 6:15 am through a grueling overnight climb. Stood at the Uhuru peak 19341 ft with a life freezing experience as the gust of heavy snow wind made it difficult even to stand there. This is the 4th Mountain I’ve climbed after I traversed three Himalayan mountains before. Kili is the 4th highest amongst the mighty Seventh Summit Mountains in the world, and I am glad that I was able to touch the roof of Africa :). Video quality and audio turned out poor as the weather situation at the time of the summit just didn’t allow me to shoot properly.

Images below show the journey through the beautiful rocky and moraine patches.

I thank my co climber Arun and must mention Amos who was a brilliant guide and a terrific climber.

Sharing a stitched video of my 2017 Stok Kangri expedition. Shot using my mobile phone while going up to the Stok Range of the Himalayas. Both the video and the climb was the 1st attempt.

Mt Friendship Peak Climb – Pir Pranjal Range, Himalaya (Video)

Pinnacle comes only after the hardest climb.

Sharing a video of my Sepetember 2019 Mt Friendship Peak climb (Pir Pranjal Range, 17300 ft.). Do read the captions to follow the story.

Friendship Peak, a stiff climb from the Beas Kund area in Himachal Pradesh involves technical climb and only meant for the experienced folks. The snow-clad near-vertical glacier walls with the hard and slippery snow along with moraine filled ridges towards the summit make it a test for agility, endurance and the ability to use technical gears. It’s an IMA (Indian Mountaineering Association) recognized trackable mountain peak in India, and it was my 2nd expedition after I attempted Stock Kangri at 20000 ft in 2017.
