Shashwat Pant December 28, 2020 2Comments Tenji Sherpa (L) and Vinayak Jaya Malla (R) Sitting at a cafe in Bouddha, Vinayak Jaya Malla and Tenji Sherpa are planning for one of their greatest mountaineering adventures yet. There is a hint of excitement in their eyes, also a bit of anxiousness, as they believe they have what it takes to become the first all-Nepali team to climb an 8000-metre peak in the winter. In a bid to do that, the duo are on their way to Manaslu base camp where they will spend the next month acclimatising and training. To make things interesting, they are going to climb the eighth highest mountain in the world in the alpine style, that means no fixed camps, no fixed ropes and no bottled oxygen.
