In June this year the British team of Paul Guest, Leon Winchester, Martin Moran and Rob Jarvis along with Indian Liaison Officer Ludar Singh made the first ascent of the striking 'Changuch' (6322m) in the Kumaon Himalaya, Northern India.

In reply to UKC Articles: Great video - thanks Rob. And it's nice to see someone else can't remember how many bloody clicks it takes to turn their headtorch off!

Great stuff, have spent some time in Khati myself, didn't get any climbing in though. Wonderful people and fab times all the same.

Well done guys!

That looks fantastic, I especially liked the use of a vintage force ten tent. I thought it was only DofE groups that had them these days.
