@cal.mcdonagh: These peaks don't even have names, just numbers. An item on my bucket list is to climb an un-named mountain as a first ascent and name it something. I took each of these photos this year in the Upper Mustang. I will go back there in the future and climb them whenever I save up the money. They are beyond beautiful, and in a totally insane part of the world. The most prominent are all above 6000m. Many have no clear or obvious routes, and that's part of the fun. After climbing something nobody else ever had this year, I am addicted to the adventure. The feeling of going where nobody has before, using your own two feet to bring you to a different world where the air is thin and the views don't seem real. Expeditions to the remote regions of Nepal require serious funding. With no sponsorships I have to work myself to the bone while training to perform like an elite athlete. I travel for work, flying once or twice a week, working almost 300 hours a month when I can, where keeping a consistent diet, sleep and training regime is almost impossible. I've recently gained quite a few new followers, and every kind comment or message saying I've inspired someone gives me so much motivation to post and edit more, and get back to the mountains and live my dream of being a professional mountain climber and hopefully soon to be qualified guide. Thanks to anyone who read my thoughts of today🫶
