On 30 August the nine-member team will depart for Delhi to climb the 7075m high Satopanth. A short 3-day approach will lead us along the source of the holy Ganges River and along impressive mountains like the Shivling, Bhagirathi’s and the Talay Sagar. The team expects to set-up base camp around 7 September at the foot of this second highest peak of the Garhwal Himalaya. The remarkable Satopanth will be climbed by the razor sharp North-East ridge. The route contains some technical climbing in steep ice and a very ‘airy’ kilometre-long snow ridge. The goal is to climb the mountain, after acclimatisation on the surrounding mountains, in Alpine style.
