Our
Goal.
In March, 2003, we plan to ascend a 7,885 metre peak: "East
Pinnacle", just near to Manaslu, the 8th highest mountain in
the world.

Is
it Possible?
Our record of ascending new routes is consistent. Not only have we made
first lightweight-style ascents on K2, Kangchenjunga, and Makalu, but in July 2000, we
climbed a virgin route on 7546 metre high Mustagh Ata, near to K2. It
was dangerous, attracted media attention, and a
few million visitors
when it was covered on the internet website: Mountainzone.com.

Charity:
While
approaching basecamp, we encounter a variety of people and environments.
We try to help where we can, and tread lightly.

Our
Sponsorship Needs
fall into three broad areas:
Equipment
+ Supplies, Services, and Financial
-
1. Equipment and
Supplies. It
takes an enormous amount of equipment and supplies to climb an Himalayan
mountain. We rely on generous and supportive sponsors to provide our
most crucial items.
return
to menu
|
Every piece of equipment, fuel, or food
you provide is carried up the mountain on our backs, and, as in this
photo of Jon Pratt from Essex, back down to basecamp. Photo:
D.L. Mazur... Please visit our
equipment
page to learn about the vast array of equipment we need for our
expeditions. |
-
2.
Services. We use travel,
recruitment, communication, medical, and media services in abundance. We depend on the the
generosity of professionals and suppliers to accomplish our goals.

the Ministry of Tourism, where mountain climbing permits are issued.
These are just a few of the people we have to pay, and provide gifts to,
when we arrange a climbing permit. Photo: D.L.
Mazur |
3. Financial. Our climbing team members pay their own way, but still we
seek donations to offset our permit and logistical costs, especially
when there are complex media and promotional efforts at stake.

Porters carrying our equipment to K2.
These chaps are hungry, and we feed them well. In addition to
their daily wages, they receive equipment money. Its an 11 day trek to
basecamp, and in those eleven days, they earn enough to feed their
families for 5 months. Its an expensive proposition to carry a full
multi-media setup to such a remote area. Photo:
