Mick Fowler - The Pioneering Pensioners
Thursday 13 February 2025, 07:30pm
Thursday 13 February 2025

 

In the summer of 1987 Mick Fowler and Victor Saunders travelled together to Pakistan where they made the first ascent of the 'Golden Pillar' of Spantik (7027m), a landmark mountaineering achievement. Nearly four decades later, they are still climbing together and still achieving first ascents in Pakistan.

In 2024, they returned to the Karakoram and, over seven days, made the first ascent of Yawash Sar (6258m) - “the Matterhorn of the Khunjerab.”
