AC Members Climb New Route on Barnaj II East (6303m)

Callum Johnson and Matt Glenn (both AC members) alongside Tom Seccombe have successfully climbed a new line on Barnaj II East (6303m) in the Indian Himalaya. The team's original objective for the expedition was Barnaj II North, a summit that still remains unclimbed.

Further details are unavailable at present, but Matt has indicated in a post on Instagram that he will have more to say once he has completed the expedition report.

The expedition was supported by The BMC, The Mount Everest Foundation and the Alpine Club.
