A glimpse into my first expedition beyond 8 000 m, to the true summit of Manaslu
I intend to take more time to digest, reflect and articulate my feelings into sentences and paragraphs that flow as the calendar turns into the final month of the year. In the meantime, I have added a glimpse with hope you will find a spark and come back for more of Magical Manaslu later.
Stay tuned as a more detailed written reflection will come when I return from Himlung (December 2021).
