Their route, Yoniverse, is 1200m in length and is graded WI5 and 6a. The peak itself was first climbed in 1993 by British alpinists Mick Fowler and Steve Sustad.

The peak, Cerro Kishtwar, gets its name from a resemblance to the striking rock spike of Cerro Torre.

I pour over the videos on here, I watch them all and enjoy them all. I have never criticised one of the videos ( I think) and I never mind the differing styles r editing options shown in the VIdeos. This video just irked me, not enough of the actual mountaineering, that voice over grated and the video was too 'whatever it was that irritated me enough to move me to post'. Of course it may be me being grumpier than usual with a bad back but I think it was pap.

I actually thought it was a really good little video, especially the unusual long zoom shots giving a great sense of scale. Just wished there had been more of it. However, the commentary was very irritating and commercially orientated. "Peak project", my arse - is that what most people call a hit list?

Perhaps that's what was irritating the commercial nonsense. I would have enjoyed watching a twenty minute video of them climbing and rigging belays and getting to the peak etc but I couldn't stomach the actual video.

Extremely annoying narrator/voice

Apparently they are Mammut Proteam Athletes on the Biggest Peak Project in History! Who on earth makes this bollocks up? Having just watched it again, yes, the editing is a irritating - always cutting a shot before you've properly taken it in.
