In 1955, 3 friends from Scotland pioneered the first-ever all-female expedition to the Himalayas. Their objective was a first ascent in the Jugal Mountains of Nepal. In the decades since their return, only five expeditions have explored this area. It remains remote, unknown and ready for discovery.
Nearly 70 years later, four female Scottish mountaineers followed in their footsteps, looking for new skiing and climbing routes above the Jugal Glacier. Another pioneering expedition in its own right, its agenda is to explore what success in the mountains looks like, environmentally, morally, culturally, and personally.
Jimmy Hyland is a Scottish-based cinematographer and director. He’s spent the last 10 years telling adventure and environmental stories worldwide.
