The remote 6750m peak of Chang Himal (a.k.a. Wedge Peak) has only ever seen one previous ascent via the south side in the 70's. Despite a number of attempts, until now, the formidable 1500m mixed north face had remained untamed and has been seen for many years as one of the significant unclimbed Himalayan objectives.
We can't wait to hear the full details of the ascent which Houseman and Bullock tackled with a fast and lightweight alpine style approach. For now we just want to spread the exciting news and send huge congratulations to the guys for their awesome acheivement.
Andy Houseman is a Mountain Equipment Pro Partner. The Chang Himal Expedition was supported by The Mark Clifford Grant, Nick Estcourt Award and GORE-TEX Shipton/Tillman Grant.
