The expedition was supported by Berghaus and the Mount Everest Foundation.

Mick Fowler is some climber. Does he ever fail to climb a summit when he is on an expidition. I go to chamonix for 2 months and spend more time abseiling off existing routes than topping. He goes away for a week and just knocks out new lines everytime. Some Man, well done Mick.

"another urge giving objective" lol
