2025 Khurdopin Sar Expedition

Despite Heger's desire to make an attempt on Khurdopin Sar (6346m) as planned, Thompson did not feel up to the climb, having contracted a cough on the approach. As a result, the pair left Pakistan without making an attempt on the peak, or on their back-up option of Peak 6221m. However, they were able to confirm that the approach route they had scouted on Google Earth was viable, completing a reconnaisance to the foot of the mountain (4900m) and examining their proposed line of ascent via the mountain's north and west ridges. Equipped with this knowledge, Heger is eager to return for an attempt.
