Jean-Christophe Lafaille, summited Dhaulagiri and is now attempting to climb Nanga Parbat and Broad Peak both via new routes! Follow us as we try to keep up with Jean-Christophe, who is clearly one of the elite mountaineers in the world today.

Follow Along: Dispatch One: Dispatch 6th June. The first ascent of Nanga Parbat was a solo ascent by the Austrian Hermann Buhl, on the 3rd July 1953. Unfortunately, 2003 marks the 50th anniversary of the 1st ascent of Everest, but we should not forget that it also marks the 50th anniversary of the 1st ascent of Nanga Parbat!
