Benjamin Védrines looks back on his historic ascent of East Jannu in the Himalayas: "When you get involved, you think about death all the time"

A reference in mountaineering, Benjamin Védrines and his climbing partner Nicolas Jean have successfully climbed the Jannu Est in the Himalayas (7,468 m). He tells us about this first.

Every year, Benjamin Védrines achieves a string of feats and records. After becoming the fastest to climb K2 (the 2nd highest peak in the world) a year ago, the 33-year-old Frenchman managed to climb the very technical Jannu Est (7,468 m) a month ago, via the formidable north face. A first in history.
