Goldfish
Big dreams need more than one try. After an unsuccessful 2019 attempt, in spring 2023 Mathieu Maynadier and Roger Schäli teamed up with Simon Gietl, and returned to India to give the Meru project another go.
The Garhwal Himalayas welcomed them with unstable weather conditions and a thick blanket of snow. However, the team managed to stick to the plan and finally, after three long days and climbing some of the most spectacular, super technical pitches in icy winds, they reached the summit of Meru South (6,600 m) via a fresh new route on its East Face: ”Goldfish” 800 m, M6+ A1.
