It's good to see Zac hasn't slowed down after climbing Everest.

A quick google search taught me that Spantik is a mountain in the Karakoram range.

I wish I could make it.

umm, it's a walk

Need ropes for about 300m of it, if you don't have a good freeze.

Seriously, if your looking for a 7000m peak to climb that's really safe and really easy, go climb Spantik.

Safe camps, Safe route. I personlly only got to about 6500ish due to a week long whote out, but seriously a week at 5500 in white out.

This is like giving a talk about climbing The Bard.

Go walk up the Chogolongma Glacier. Piss easy.

Unless he climbed the cliff, in which case wow, that's impressive, 1600m of verticle Granite. Which is amazing.
