In 1955, the first all-female expedition team to the Himalaya stepped foot in the wild, remote, and unexplored region of the Jugal Himal. 70 years later, Pauline Sanderson assembles her own team of women, all highly skilled and experienced mountaineers, to follow in their footsteps.
As they tackle the unpredictable, unspoiled terrain of this lesser-known corner of the Himalayas, they draw inspiration from the women that came before them to make safe, best-practice decisions and reduce their impact on local communities.
