Watch: The harrowing journey of six mountaineers to an obscure Myanmar peak

Earlier this month National Geographic published this phenomenal story about six climbers who tried to summit Myanmar’s highest mountain last year.

(To recap: They were attempting to summit Hkakabo Razi Mountain in Kachin state to determine whether it was Southeast Asia’s tallest peak. They failed. But the journey was incredible.)

Now The North Face, which sponsored the exhibition, has published this majestic video about their trip. Well worth a watch on this rainy Wednesday.
