Not sure if you're still reading comments two years after this trip, but did you have any issues with your goose down (either in jacket or bag) getting saturated & clumpy from body moisture with such frequent use? I know many people who use synthetics if the trip is longer than 1-2 nights, so curious how you managed with down.

This is true, but it can be resolved if you have a way to dry it. Either in the sun or in a dry hut will do the trick.

It is so interesting how humans can literally live on ropes thousands of meters up on a mountain but we can’t devise a government worth a shit.

It is said that anything after the first ascent really doesn’t matter. But this ascent of Changabang by you three will likely be the forever exception to this. Beyond the sheer will and guts it took to make that climb, the bond and unmeasurable love you all share with each other and the mountains shines almost as bright as the mountain itself. The video is incredible, and I am thankful to have seen it. I hope you three have continued climbing together, as it’s rare to find mates like this. Cheers.

5 degree bag, shit that's keen man. Fluoride is nasty stuff, the "Do Not Swallow" warnings appear on all toothpastes that contain fluoride and for good reasons. I use Dr. Bronners or make my own with diatomaceous earth, olive oil and pure peppermint essential oil contained in a small 35ml Sistema dressing tub. Good presentation though, well thought out systems👍 The compostable ziplock bags are a good idea.

The amount of sodium flouride toothpaste an adult male would need to consume to poison himself is something like two to three tubes in an hour.....and even that is easily reversible for many hours. The "do not swallow" warning is a much bigger deal with children and important for adults massing fewer than 50kg. Using the dried tabs Alastair chose is perfectly safe and reasonable. (Hydroflouric acid on the other hand is dangerous stuff. You won't feel the "burn" and it will kill you anyway. One should also avoid swallowing too much diatomaceous earth, it can really tear you up.)

Congrats guys. I have read both Pete and Joe's books, brutal is right. Can't wait to get back to the Himalayas, but I think I'll just stick to trekking peaks.

There is a Mexican team that reached the summit of Changabang on October 13, 2006, that would be the 2nd ascent to its summit, unfortunately they died on the descent. Great job and congratulations on your climbing and your video, it would be good if this information was added to your video.

Superb video, supreme effort. Something about the surroundings of Changabang make it something else, truly another world. Great to see Sir Chris, and excellent documentation of Joe and Pete's effort.

Well done, you guys and thanks for sharing. Such an achievement time wise. Walked into Aspiring Hut in September 2023, reliving an early 1970s walk from Glenorchy via the Dart Rees Matukituki rivers to the old Aspiring Hut and up to Colin Todd Hut unreadiness for an ascent. Fascinating to see the lie of the land these days, especially with so little snow and ice.

So enjoyed this vid and the fact that your team summited. Always fascinated by returned servicemen climbers from WW1 who took to alpine climbing with relish, presumably wanting a 'peak experience' that didn't involve mass carnage on the battlefront, George Mallory included. Who knows what demons they were battling, let alone war injuries, and whether dicing with death lured them on.

Wonderful film and story. I really appreciated the respect you showed for Pete Boardman and Joe Tasker. Great mountaineers and great writers. I would recommend their books to anyone as not only fine climbing literature, but fine literature period. Congrats on your ascent.
