At times the approach to a mountain can prove more scary than the actual climb. English mountaineers Mick Fowler and Paul Ramsden know a thing or two about this: last autumn they travelled to the Indian Himalaya together with Mike Morrison and Rob Smith to reach Kishtwar Kailash, the mountain Fowler and Ramsden then climbed in alpine style from 4 - 10 October. Before setting foot on the peak though, the four alpinists had to travel along what could well be described as "The scariest Road in India Ever." Seeing is believing.
