Legendary alpinist Simone Moro will be joining forces with teenage climbing prodigy Nima Rinji Sherpa to attempt a breath-taking climb this winter, scaling the 26,781ft / 8,163m Manaslu mountain alpine style.
If successful, the 18 and 57-year-olds would become the first to summit any of the ‘eight-thousanders’ using the alpine style in winter. This means they’ll be battling ferocious winter conditions without fixed ropes, gear caches, Sherpa support, fixed camps, or supplemental oxygen.
