In this talk Will Lewallen and Tim Exley discuss their 2021 expedition to the Nangma Valley in Pakistan with team member Tom Seccombe.

The team set off at the tail end of August after a summer of hiccups including the cancellation of all their funding (due to Covid), expedition members dropping out and some very last-minute visas. Despite the odds, all three made it to basecamp at the foot of Brakk Zang (4800m) where they stayed for most of September.

During this time the trio made 2 first ascents of unclimbed summits, Korada North (6,130m) and their main objective, Kapura Central (6,530m).

Will and Tim will talk about what is involved in organising a first major expedition to the Greater Ranges; from weather forecasting to the self-belief involved to book the flights and take the plunge. They will recount both of their climbs, what went well and lessons that were learnt and the pair will also discuss the wider experience of their first time in Pakistan.
