Jannu East, Virgin Summit

A Spanish Basque expedition, to open a 100% alpine style route on the Jannu (7710m), in Nepal.

Jannu is an imposing summit, very steep and quite remote.  It is located in the extreme East of Nepal next to the Kanchenjunga massif. It takes about 8 days of walking to reach the base camp that the team will set up for this great climb.

A great challenge for Mikel, Iker, Ekaitz and Mikel!
