The Crystal Ship - First Ascent of Pumari Chhish East (6850m)
3 friends and un unclimbed summit at 6850m in Karakoram. A long wait due to bad weather and then an unexpected good weather window that allowed them to fulfill their dream.
In June 2022 Jerome Sullivan, Christophe Ogier and Victor Saucède travelled to the remote Hispar glacier in Pakistan to attempt the first ascent of the Pumari Chhish East (6850m). They succeeded through a new route that they called The Crystal Ship (M7, 6b, A2, 1600m), after 5 days on the wall.
