Wings on the Himalayas · Vintage 1955
The Royal Air Force Mountaineering Association underwent an ambitious expedition to climb several unnamed peaks north of Manali in India in 1955. Just a few years following the successful first summit of Everest, this era of climbing is captured beautifully. The expedition followed the Lahoul region, led by Captain Tony Smyth was the first successful mountaineering expedition to this region. The team made several first ascents, among them, to the peaks Taragiri, Tambu, Shikar Beh and Ashagiri.

Love these old documentaries. It's crazy when you see how they did things back then, with so little equipment or real knowledge on what to expect.
Of all the videos, my favourites are these old ones. Anything older than 2000.
Thank you, David Snow for posting all the mountain videos. Love watching them.
I love these older films! I'm 45 and grew up with various film formats as the only medium of capture. And while I appreciate greatly the advances in today's digital capture technology, there's something warm and pleasing and organic about viewing good ole film. When I was in elementary school, we'd get to visit the local library from time to time, and it was always an extra special day when we all walked in and saw that the librarian had prepared the little film projector. It meant it was movie day!

I have never seen this, thank you David!
