It is almost always obscured by clouds or storms, and is sur\u00adround\u00aded by 75,000 square kilo\u00adme\u00adtres [30,000 square miles] of glac\u00adi\u00aders and rugged peaks.

It was first sum\u00admit\u00aded in 1925 by a team of Cana\u00addi\u00adan, Amer\u00adi\u00adcan and British climbers, the task tak\u00ading 65 days. The first solo assent was made in 2018 by Monique Richard. I was thrilled enough to fly over the out\u00ader por\u00adtion of the plateau and spot it in the far dis\u00adtance, in&nbsp;1995.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1517],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-a-blog","category-ag-blog-2020"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.philpaine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.philpaine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.philpaine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.philpaine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.philpaine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10948"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.philpaine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10950,"href":"http:\/\/www.philpaine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10948\/revisions\/10950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.philpaine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.philpaine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.philpaine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
