Info from Licensor: "One of the most spectacular things I've done so far: Reaching the Alpamayo high camp 5947m and capturing a timelapse under the moonlight, how the mountaineers I admire went to climb the top of the most beautiful mountain in the world. I was invited by 'the machine' Honza, and I did not hesitate for a single second to accompany him on this expedition. Climbing we met our good friend Miguel, who was with his Canadian clients. Only they managed to reach the top of this mountain, from 12 am to 7 am. In seconds 6 and 7 you can see an avalanche in the same gutter that my friends were about to climb, thus dodging death as usual on this mountain. Getting here was not easy, carrying 30 kg between photographic, mountain, and camping equipment, is something that I continued to suffer after returning from the expedition. The most beautiful mountain in the world was also one of the coldest that night, so much so that I had frozen toes and leg numbness that lasted for the next 3 months."
