Details of French Line on Nemjung
Yannick Graziani and Christian Trommsdorff, the French duo first to climb the south face of Nemjung (7140m) last month (read the October 30, 2009 NewsWire), have called their new line "maybe the most beautiful we have ever done, certainly the most continuously steep, sustained and constantly exposed."
Graziani and Trommsdorff traveled to Nepal with hopes of climbing Manaslu (8156m). But after only three days of acclimatizing at 5200m, 5400m and 5600m on nearby ridges followed by 12 days of bad weather, the pair realized they would need to change their objective to a lower peak...
