La Fustera – Mountains in My Life

The story of the impossible climb on a remote Himalayan mountain API 23, 399 feet.

Tucked away in the North West corner of Nepal, close to the Tibet/Chinese border, this rarely visited mountain rises dramatically above the surrounding valleys. It offers mountaineers many difficulties as it is remote, with many impressive facets, none more so than the steep, unclimbed south face. This south face was the target for the British Army Mountaineering Association expedition, led by Major Sir Crispin Agnew of Lochnaw, of which I was lucky enough to be one of the team members. This is my story of that expedition.
