"An alpine style ascent of Tahu Ratum (6651m) is a particularly noteworthy and challenging objective, which will help raise the profile of British mountaineering." - Sir Chris Bonington - Expedition Patron.

Chicken Tonight......

Hey everyone just got this text message off the team:

"Left base camp this morning.

Fresh Chicken on the Menu tonight!

All attempts on the mountain thwarted by bad weather.

Looking forward to getting back to civilisation.

Love the team x"

Unfortunately the weather that has been causing the floods in Pakistan has also prevented the boys from climbing Tahu Ratum which is a real shame.

I can't wait to see them all, and wish them a safe journey home.

  1. Bullshit that, unlucky is an understatement.

  2. It hurts when it's out of your control like that, doesn't it? I hope you're going to have another shot at it.

    Enjoy some home comforts, at least.

  3. Sounds like a true expedition experience—unpredictable weather, missed summits, and yet the joy of something as simple as fresh chicken after days in the mountains! Reminds me of the Everest Base Camp trek—where every small comfort feels like luxury, and getting back to civilization feels like a celebration. Wishing the team a safe and smooth journey back!
