Steve House and the K7 Solo Story. Part 1. (2003 attempts)

The process of discovering and climbing K7, in 2003-2004, is my most cherished mountain experience. In this presentation I share the first half of that journey, the 2003 expedition which includes a solo first ascent of Hajji Brakk (circa 6,000m) and three attempts on K7 main (6,942m). The 2004 expedition is covered in the April 9, 2020 Zoom Hangout. Note that I forgot to press record during the orginal Zoom Hangout on March 31, 2020. I re-recorded this at home on April 7, 2020, and tried to simulate speaking to a live audience.
