Francesco Ratti, Alessandro Bau, Jerome Perruquet, and Lorenzo D’Addario are aiming for a new route on one of the the spires in the Miyar Valley, which Chris Bonington once described as “India’s Yosemite.” The Italians reached Base Camp last Sunday, after a three-day trek from Manali.
They then spent three days acclimatizing and having a good look at potential lines. At the moment, the climbers are back to Base Camp, waiting out bad weather.
Originally, they were considering either the Neverseen Tower (5,800m) or Mahindra Peak (6,080m) but they have not specified which wall they have decided to attempt.
The team has only a satphone, so they will send pictures and more details when they return to civilization around the beginning of October.
