Climbing expedition to the Simien Mountains, Ethiopia

Type: Interesting

Description:
A great short film of a BMC-supported climbing trip to the Simien Mountains, Ethiopia in 2018.

Callum Nelson explains: “The trip was an excellent adventure from the day we arrived and until the moment we left. There were many ups and downs, unknowns and uncertainties, unexpected events and just lots of cool stories from the trip. Although we didn’t make it to the summit of our proposed objective due to very bad quality rock, burnt ground and lack of safe belay/ abseil points, we did give a solid and arguably risky attempt and made it to about 300m below the summit point. The peak was exhausting and full of unknowns which made the attempt very exciting.”
