The Report of the British Ganglung Kangri 2 Expedition 2023

2019, 2022 and 2023 Expeditions.

All access to these source mountains is politically impossible from Tibet and we decided to find a way from the Nepal side via an unnamed glacier which we found in 2019. Julian and Nick Colton became the first onto the Angsi glacier but failed to cross it and access the mountain.

We also tried to access from the west side in 2022 (via Chandi peak) but very severe snowfall all across Nepal and India during that post monsoon, put paid to that attempt.

So, in 2023 we decided to go back, again in post monsoon period, to the 2019 base camp and push forward what we had already found out from there. This time Nick Colton and I were joined by Jim Lowther and Jim Fotheringham, both seasoned climbers and greater range expeditioners from the Lake District.
