Zanskar Odyssey – adventure

This fall, Colorado climbers Pete Takeda, Abbey Smith, Jason Kehl and Mick Follari journey to that lofty crossroads where continents meet, ancient cultures mingle, and great religions clash — the kingdom of Zanskar in the Indian Himalayas. They’re looking for adventure, a fresh perspective, and the most aesthetic boulders in the world’s greatest mountain range. It’s a postmodern blend of traditional expedition climbing and new school bouldering –it’s a search for the highest hardest climbing moves in the world.
