NUPTSE

If there are a lot of stories you want to hear, it's those of people like that. Who do not give up. Who persevere until they hit the mark. Stories that combine adventure, friendship, humanity, performance. Stories that will touch the bottom of our soul and help us understand why. Why so much effort to get there? The "mustache gang" experience is exceptional. Helias, Benjamin, Robin and Fred are among the best climbers of their generation; without ever admitting it, without even suspecting it. This is the spirit of the mountains. Surpass yourself without asking any questions. Give the best of yourself without trying to be above others. But you have to get to the top at all costs. We must finish what has been started. In their repeated attempts at the first ascent of the Nuptse Nup II, “The Mustache Gang” gave it their all. Considered today as the greatest alpine-style climbing performance in the Himalayas, this masterpiece has been awarded the greatest of awards: the golden ice ax! On this face, several kilometers wide, there is something to do, there is something to say. The world's greatest climbers have grappled with it, but only a handful have achieved the feat of reaching the summit ridge just below 8000m above sea level. Through a historical and intimate approach, these experienced climbers wish to transmit the emotions of this feat to the general public and to future generations, through their eyes and the eyes of those who came before them. A success without the tragic. A fairy tale.
