# Event Details

- **Event Name**: January Section Talk. Shar Mathias & Oak Jones - Zanskar Expedition
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 09:30 am
- **Event Description**: Shar Mathias & Oak Jones - Zanskar Expedition

Zanskar, India is a land of canyons, rock faces, high glaciers and approachable passes. In July 2025, we went on a journey from Photoksar village, up the Photang Tokpo river, and around three peaks at the head of the valley, which were described by a French group who climbed them in 2019. We then linked several more passes and glaciers in a delightful trans-alpine linkage. We will talk about how we planned a trip of this sort in a place we had never been to, some of the ethos we tried to hold as foreign visitors to these mountains, and what we learnt about Zanskari culture and traveling in India along the way.
