The Himalayan Adventures
Ian has spent a lifetime climbing and photographing mountains in the UK, the Alps and particularly The Himalaya. His portfolio of images reflects his passion for high mountains and wild places. Many of his chosen viewpoints are beyond the reach of the traditional landscape photographer, requiring detailed planning, preparation, determination and a high level of fitness and commitment. Ian is a sensitive observer of landscape and light; his love for, and understanding of this environment is reflected in every image.
The pages of this section of the website showcase not only Ian’s images, but also a selection of material generously provided by personal friends and others who have accompanied him on his many and varied Himalayan expeditions.
The Himalayan Adventures
Makalu - East of Everest
” The final objective was almost in sight. I took a momentary glance back down towards the rubble of the lower Barun Glacier and then pressed on towards the small col above. I struggled for every breath, cursing my clumsy body for not keeping pace with my mental impatience. Slowly the ground ahead levelled out and then, from behind a ridge, Makalu finally appeared.
Rising high above me into a clear blue sky the world’s fifth highest mountain, and one of the truly great peaks of the Himalaya, stood in proud isolation; its steep flanks of pink granite sweeping up from beautiful valleys and complex glacier systems. Comforted by the warmth of the bright morning sun, I sat to relax beside a glacial lake at the foot of Makalu’s great south face. There I reflected upon the long and challenging journey upon which I had embarked and which had brought me to this incredible place. “
