http://www.indmount.org*Description of the Webinar in Anindya’s Words :
The history of exploration around Kangchenjunga, especially around its south, south east and east flanks; has always fascinated me. The classic journeys and adventures of pioneers like W.W. Graham, John Claude White, Douglas Freshfield, Dr. A.M. Kellas, Harold Raeburn, N.A.Tombazi, Lord John Hunt and Paul Bauer ignited my imagination. The height of inspiration of course came from reading my hero Mr. H.W. Tilman’s account in the Himalayan Journal (vol. IX) on his attempt on Zemu Gap from south in 1936. The primary challenge of climbing Zemu Gap from south has always been its remote & complicated approach. Many failed just to reach the foot of this col. To add to that, its apparently impregnable defenses took Zemu Gap to a next level of exploratory climbing and thus making it a fascinating long standing problem in the Sikkim Himalaya. In this short illustrated talk I have tried to cover the history of exploration around the mysterious and apparently impregnable Zemu Gap, the mythology of the Lepcha people that is associated with the snows of these ranges and our climb of the Zemu Gap in December 2011 that happened to be its first documented ascent from South.April 20, 2020 at 8:25 pm #13786OliB
