In the summer of 1987 Mick Fowler and Victor Saunders travelled together to Pakistan where they made the first ascent of the 'Golden Pillar' of Spantik (7027m), a landmark mountaineering achievement. Nearly four decades later, they are still climbing together and still achieving first ascents in Pakistan.
