This is a fun and easy read about a group of mountaineers who travel to south-east Asia in order to find the highest mountain in the area and ascend it. the article is supplemented by a six-minute video. I chose this article because It shows that even today, there are still some “firsts” to be climbed. I enjoyed reading about this adventure because, the climbers are genuine mountaineers, seeking to blaze their own trail.
