In 2005, American climbers, Steve House and Vince Anderson made an historic ascent of the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat in Pakistan in an impressive six-day alpine-style ascent of what is widely regarded as the largest wall in the Himalaya (4000m+). House and Anderson won the XVth Piolet d'Or for this ascent.
