In 2016, I joined Furtemba Sherpa on an expedition to the Ripimo Shar glacier in Rolwaling Valley. There, we attempted the unclimbed 6400m Langdung, and nearly summited after climbing a fine route on the south face. A dangerously unconsolidated and corniced ridge stopped our progress just 25m from the summit. After returning to the valley, we crossed the challenging Tashi Laptsa into the Khumbu and successfully climbed Ama Dablam, famed for its spectacular beauty. Following the trip, I produced a short, film, For Ama. Posts are below.
