Beyond the Mists

Victor Saunders and Nicholas Hurndall Smith

Victor Saunders and Nicholas Hurndall Smith talk about their recent expeditions to Sikkim.  Together with Mick Fowler, Victor has made a number of attempts on the magnificent Chombu (pictured) and Nick was part of a team of five AC members whose sights were on easier objectives in the same area.  Conditions and weather always present challenges in Sikkim but this remote and beautiful area has a unique draw.
