The Himalayan Cataract Project team Summits Cholatse!

I was lucky to work with "Light of the Himalaya" with Peter Athans, Conrad Anker, Kristoffer Erickson, Michael Brown, Dr. Jeff Tabin & Dr. Sanduk Ruit. Also they climbed Mt. Cholatse after the cataract

First summit attempt aborted at 20,000 feet

"On May 9th, Pete Athans, Geoff Tabin, Conrad Anker, Kristoffer Erickson and Michael Brown made an impressive 21 hour round-trip push up the southwest ridge reaching over 20,000 feet. Back at Base Camp we awoke this morning to see Conrad and Kris making a second attempt on Cholatse along with Kevin Thaw, John Griber and Abby Watkins.”
