Octobre Blanc
Christophe Raylat ( 2017 - France )
Accompanied by his friend Cédric Gras, Sylvain Tesson puts on his crampons for an expedition through the highlands of Tajikistan. Leaving the capital Dushanbe, the small team advance for three days on chaotic tracks before reaching the first massifs of the Pamir Tajik, on the border with China, Kyrgyzstan, and Afghanistan. Memories of the Soviet past of these Far Eastern borders, the peaks which rise up to 7000 meters high are called "Lenin", "Marx", "Engels" or "Marshal Zhukov". The line of sight of Sylvain Tesson and his companions is the ascent of the peak 'October', towards a glacier culminating at 5,600 meters above sea level.

Untrodden Karakoram
Vic Bray ( 1961 - UK )
The 1961 RAF Karakoram Expedition was, like the 1955 RAF Expedition to Lahul, an exploratory expedition to an unknown region. The RAF team in 1961 did not do everything they intended. They did not climb K6, but at least contributed to human knowledge on this peak. With two 22,000 feet and two 20,000 feet summits attained, a glacier system opened up, and a good map, they have no reason to be disappointed with their results. The expedition consisted of twelve British climbers of whom eleven came from the RAF, and one guest climber.
