Climb Sepu
"For us, Sepu Kangri is the ultimate expression of our culture blending personal relationships with careers, hobbies, and athletic challenges in an emulsified whirl of people and activity all focused on one thing- a single pristine, remote, untrodden mound of snow, a summit.
The experience will indelibly sear itself into our psyches. For better or worse, we will not be the same people when we return.
Join us on our voyage"

Hazards:Avalanche - The summit push in 1998 stalled a mere 400 feet in elevation below the summit, due to extreme avalanche danger.
Storm - Both climbing attempts bogged down in cold, snowy storms. Altitude - Sepu Kangri has two distinct summits creating a long rolling mountain profile. In 1998 Camps II and III lay well above 19,000 feet - exposing climbers to long periods at debilitating and potentially life threatening, high altitude.
