Podcast: Manaslu 2022 and Taking Care of our Mountains
The Manaslu 2022 season is moving nicely, with the first client summits for the season on Thursday, September 22, 2022.

This means there is an opportunity for more trash, crowds, and poor practices.
In this podcast, I talk about my 2013 experience on Manaslu plus how we can take better care of our mountains.
Climb On!
