DESCRIPTION
Across the Frozen Himalaya is an account of the first ever ski traverse from the Karakoram Pass to the Lipu Lekh Pass, a 2,000-kilometre epic through the coldest winter in the previous two decades. The Ski-Himalaya expedition crossed twenty passes, including three that were hitherto unknown.
