Mountain Hardwear's Ben Clark is on expedition in the Himalaya. Mountain Hardwear Alpinist Ben Clark and partners, Josh Butson and Jon Miller, travelled to Nepal in 2009 to explore the culture and to climb (and ski) it’s steep terrain. The three witnessed an authentic glimpse into the Nepali culture and the unspoiled heights of the world’s most massive mountains.

Over the next 14 weeks, fans can relive the 2009 Expedition where the team attempted a new route, but was pinned on the 23,390ft Baruntse due to inclement weather. Follow along week to week (via video podcast) for a dynamic and candid review of the 2009 Expedition, and watch as the ‘09 footage unfolds into the 2010 Expedition and their awaited return to be the first to ski from the Baruntse summit this May.
