SLAYING A GIANT
SASER KANGRI II
In August, the highly accomplished team of Mark Richey, Steve Swenson and Freddie Wilkinson climbed the South West Face of Saser Kangri II, in India’s East Karakoram, to make the first ascent of what was the second highest unclimbed peak in the World at 7,518 m. They also achieved one of the highest, summit first ascents ever climbed in alpine-style. It doesn’t get much wilder than that.
