## About

Dhaulagiri is not a challenge for the fainthearted. Long thought to be the highest mountain in the Himalayas, its imposing bulk stands as a significant obstacle to any climber wishing to summit all 14 of the world’s 8,000ers. Many talented mountaineers have tried and failed to reach its dazzling white peak. More than a few have paid the ultimate price for their failure.

A true connoisseurs’ climb, Dhaulagiri is rarely attempted by commercial expeditions. In 2019 for example, during their Bremont Project Possible push, our leaders Nimsdai and Mingma David led the only team on the mountain. Dhaulagiri’s relative isolation means it’s more important than ever to work with a team that takes care of everything - from carrying food to fixing ropes.
