Description
We matched Sella’s magnificent pano in September 2009, one hundred years after Sella had occupied the same photo point in the summer of 1909 as he accompanied the large Karakoram expedition led by the Duke of Abruzzi. It was a very difficult and dangerous photo point to find and occupy. We spent considerable time up high searching for the precise point and clambered atop many false leads. We were tremendously satisfied, and also filled with joy and relief, when we looked around a steep precarious ridge and gazed upon Sella’s cairn standing where it had been erected one hundred years earlier, at the same spot from which Sella recorded his most famous images.” —David Breashears, Correspondence with Roger Härtl, 2020
