this is the village of shame shall located in a remote region of northeastern pakistan close to the border with china high up in the karakoram mountains. the village is home to about 2000 people who raise farm animals and crops living in shame show isn't easy at an elevation of 3100 meters nature is harsh. and 1st gravel road here wasn't completed until 2014 before that residents had had to walk for 3 days to reach the next village. on the karakoram highway. here men and women share daily chores. but no hafiz or is 21 years old. wasn't that important point rick.

so hard against. since i got married i've been living with my husband and his family 2nd he said was the point i work around the house and also out in the fields . at home it's me that does the cooking question on the fly i also look after the children and take them to school all of the names and i'm sure the washing and cleaning and those who manage all of those chores on my duty to set. the scarf my last post. shown adults and 5 children live in this house. the local school was only recently set up. a set of 23 of them with just. manu finished the 10th grade an unusual achievement in pakistan where almost 2 thirds of women cannot read or write she is just.

a madman and by name now. i know when her husband are recruiting irrigation ditches it hardly rains at all in this region during the summer so melt water from the nearby glaciers needs to be directed with ditches to irrigate fields thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks. thanks. a lot of care is needed to keep crops mainly potatoes and green from drying out. somewhere in a field just cutting down buckthorn shrubs to use as fuel for cooking and heating. during the winter the temperature here can drop to minus 15 degrees celsius and the local huts have little insulation. some rain is 1000 years old and has taken on

a number of family responsibilities. so much i can see my father died recently and it was a heavy blow to us all is it he was always there for us leo and he taught us so much 2nd should absences death our lives that much harder for us my mother is often ill and my brother is away to school so my sister and i have to do all the work and none of it including the household chores the physical it's not easy. i some reason wanted to continue her education but she's had to put that on hold to manage her chores many young women in the village are in a similar situation i put not. the 23 year old studies tourism in the district capital karima bod she's gone half the year during that time her family exempts her from chores and hopes

that later she'll be able to find a job and support them financially. right now nadeem is home on semester break so she helps her mother and sister with the household chores including cooking. i. feel the stupidity of the future. i i i i for dinner today there's child been doc a traditional regional dish that consists of fleck breads called chop parties a mild yak curd sauce and melted butter. there is a man and the sea is all my mother and grandmother knew nothing else but life in the village they looked after the family and the home took care of the animals and helped with the harvest that was their whole life for decades but i have

a number of opportunities that they didn't fit in i'm free i'm going to school and my family supports that support said an. amazing. in shame child women are equal to men in almost all aspects of life they share the workload and make important decisions together. that's atypical for pakistan so they don't accept an agenda to. although at meal time men get the 1st pick of the food and women take what's left. of the area around him shell is sometimes called the valley of mountaineers. the village is surrounded by the peaks of the karakoram range with some of the world's tallest mountains. those who grew up here seem to have mountaineering in their blood including women but unlike the men who often work as guides or porters the women have seldom been able to use their mountain climbing skills professionally.

these women have decided to step up their climbing game. there were all model is so mean a bike the 1st pakistani woman to climb mount everest. for. dinner for. me is an experienced climber who's conquered for 8000 meter peaks he runs a mountain nearing school in shell and offers training courses specially designed for women from. you know me to the. next up to shoot and i last 6 people always told me that women were too weak to climb mountains and have people when i saw all of you here she gave me confidence and as you know with g.o.p. she may go through that today the my father is a mountain air and my sister also enjoys climbing who for the who to 20 so i thought i'd give it a try as well to be able to join then 2. men must take this i have financial

problems also because i'm not married yet i have a lot of duty but my family is supporting me to take this course. so. the father died in 2016 and that made life really difficult for my family. 2016 you know what i want to become a qualified mountain guide so i can support. cornish support i like climbing a lot and i'd like to work in the tourism industry and you must understand we live there was. you're missing. the students will learn the basics of mountaineering 1st aid and how to be a mountain guide today could rock is explaining how the equipment works. he uses english language terminology as mountaineers around the world do research. together he's convinced that these women can become good mountaineers you know the territory and they're accustomed to taking on responsibility for her own one of the things

she. shell is the only village in this area where women support their husbands in almost all aspects of life including in their work. except or in mountaineering. or so we believe there is great potential here. nearing is an international sport. that our school women can learn the skills they need to be qualified mountaineers sports climbers or guides or the climbing realised that and as a sports climber i want to know as a guide i'd like to see them lead groups of climbers from all over the world and especially teams of women climbers talk about the reason take them from one of the women will have to learn the proper use of climbing ropes springs now pokes called caribbean nurse and ice axes new territory for some including some rain so she and the others will have to complete a training climb before they can qualify as mountain guides. and step back

a little don't put your weight on the rope yet so many people back a little more. the 1st day of the course has come to an end. tomorrow morning crew drop in his students will set off to climb a 5300 metre high mountain called shiftiness are. forgotten. chuckie le numa is 34 years old and the oldest participant in the climbing course she's eager to pass as she needs to earn more money her parents are ill and as the oldest of 3 siblings she has a lot of responsibilities. she still has work to finish before the climb which will take several days. here she's gathering supply of food for the family co shaquille has been with the mountaineering school since it opened. most of whom she said at the beginning the course was pretty tough. we were the 1st local women who wanted to become mountaineers. given the huge technical circus

a lot of that training program was completely new to me to mount an earring is a dangerous sport we're aware of that said it was ok. but talk coaches have shown us new climbing techniques they've trained us well so that we can properly evaluate the risks and trying to reduce them. a 5 day climb like the one the women are embarking on takes a lot of preparation. but new is the most experienced student in the course she's already made it to the top of the 6000 meter peak but she's not yet allowed to lead a group from what i know i knew was called routes unofficial assistant she helps pack the equipment and make the final preparations. for her thoughts are still one her family. along that have thought through not going to come for her it's

a really busy time for us. there's all the daily housework to to and now it's also time to harvest actual the rock that's a little while she i'm especially worried about my child. and i have so much to do that i thought i wouldn't be able to make this climb. you have to cause a lot of. talk to my family about it last night and everyone agreed that i should do an interview that really gave me a left hand and a hair raising worrying. if there is a lock to pack tents mountaineering gear and a 1st aid kit none of the women can afford their own equipment this supplies are provided by sponsors who finance could routes larger expeditions to local and or he managed to convince the sponsors to also support his training program for the women from shame shall. exist. for.

the packing takes hours by the time by new and good router done it's dark outside. the klein begins 1st thing the next morning the sky is clear the temperature is 15 degrees celsius and the winds are light. but it mountains weather can change quickly and with little warning. some rains mother and wished her good luck. they're anxious for some rain to pass the course and tourists have started returning to pakistan's mountains if summering gets a job as a mountain guide her income could support the entire family. for these women the mountaineering course represents not only a major step forward in terms of gender equality it's also a survival strategy for the families of.

the climbers pray at the village mosque before setting out the people of shame shall our ismaili shias and practice a liberal islam their religious leader in the hands of alley encourages women to take their fates into their own hands. the climbers will need a supply of fresh meat. so could rock makes one last purchase. if left alone have to separate out the care they cannot keep it was a fun moment i think over. another 1st time climbers about you know what he has joined the group. it's now 6 students to porters and could write going to climb shiftiness are. i

your 1st obstacle is the shame shall river in summers run off from the glaciers increases the current i anyone who fell into the rapids would almost certainly be lost i . could write his security check to get to the guide rope and now he carefully leaves them one by one over the narrow bridge crook

of. the climbers stop at a spring to fill up their water bottles the team will have to ration their water supplies carefully during the ascent. there's a shift in the weather the temperature falls to 7 degrees celsius and fog rolls in not good conditions for climbing the mountain and i'm. for the. record. i actually ascend is exhausting not least because of all the small loose rocks on which it's easy to slip the climbers have to stay alert constantly. the she doesn't seem too enthusiastic. if

i. if. after 8 hours on the slope the team reaches the site where those set up their base camp at an elevation of 4000 meters face so see that that's the good stuff the women start putting up the tents. one for could write another that will how's the kitchen and a large common shelter. after they've finished with all that they'll set up their own tent. sounds. and they are going out there.

that's what. i the women have learned a number of new skills today that will prove useful in future climbs for example how to communicate effectively as a team. the progress they made on today's climb gives them confidence. i mean we did it that way and that everything that moves so yeah let us just know if you just look at this if i get out of there after i get. there by you know says she's glad she decided to make this climb. the whole hog i never thought that i would become a mountaineer not even in my wildest dreams but i've always loved being in the mountains so in this one of my girlfriends talked me into signing up for this course and now that i want to make this my profession just suck that. one we didn't have any real goals in life. but that changed when the mountaineering

school opened the. we hope it was this professional training will bring some positive changes in our lives i think that could and later we can teach others and earn some money to get close. to me so i was off does before i started this course everyone said that i was lazy and would never amount to anything. it was in the hardware i was shy i had trouble talking to people. like that but because of the training course and the experience that i've gained since my 1st climb i've become friends with the other women. enjoyed it enjoyed it before i signed up for the course i didn't have much joy in my life. but that's changed now and sometimes i'm really happy that. the team prepares dinner. the sheep is slaughtered according to muslim tradition. its throat and juggler vein are slit with

a sharp knife so the animal bleeds out quickly. so the meat will be rationed to last several days. the team has also brought along carbohydrate rich foods such as rice and vegetables. the climbers will need to stay in top physical shape during the ascent so a proper diet is essential. a good mountaineer knows how much food is needed for a climb he or she has to make sure it's properly cooked and if possible that it tastes good. but not ok let's eat please help yourselves to do that right once the women to feel respected they are the focus of this expedition so they aren't 2nd in line at this dinner thinking. that. will leave at 7 tomorrow morning. we've got so get

your equipment together tonight that i haven't made with a good one and put it in front of your tent. think about if you had to think about have a good. boots helmet gloves everything has to be ready ok let me. get enough it is over. and don't forget to bring water or important. than money the. key to. the climbers get up at dawn. they'll spend a long and difficult day crossing a glacier one of the biggest challenges in mountaineering. lives and i'm going to be able. to.

these. former always have your camp on these traction devices handy. several you'll need them to get across the ice several but you can adjust them to fit your shoe size likely. you could do it i don't think you can get the climbers are used to walking with the traction devices so they have to practice. we're going to move a step forward planter icepick in front of you and turn around then move on.

to dinner. right over. you. then i guess i would defend him or if you drive the ax deep into the ice and make sure that your traction devices are secure what did. you learn before you hit it hard. that's it. there were stories of it driving around. you could go. yes some of the vision. i. was i try to give my students the best training i can and i want them to become better mountaineers than i am. when i 1st started climbing there were no training courses so i had to teach myself. that was hard work making the high end i want my students to have an easier time learning yeah internet and i want to reach that goal together with my friends from international mountaineering association. i

don't know i think i mean was put out or got questions that i'm. this ice fall presents an extremely difficult technical challenge especially for inexperienced climbers. the students must apply all the lessons they've learned so far. their physical strength and endurance will be put to the test. they'll have to use a range of equipment including caribbean ors ropes and ice groups. and perhaps most important of all they'll have to work together. for. the 2nd amendment rights i referred to critique. the market rather than the more her version without triggering a. child like you care for. another that are worth somebody to struggles to get up the overhanging ice wall with at 1st . but i know it's a lot of credit for the daycare we just. don't want to do that or.

who do i chose this challenge on purpose he wants his team to be able to master all sorts of mountain terrain and that includes difficult situations like this one how to how clever homes have been destroyed. and of course. i didn't pace myself properly. so i couldn't get a foothold in the end. plus i was too exhausted. later the climbers enjoy a meal together and discussed their plans for the future. with all the rest what sorts of jobs could we find if we passed the training course. but. we could open up

a small agency and offer to was. the one where i'm sure that we could line up lots of clients. but. we think we will have the training and the skills so we can teach others how to climb so. that. we could also work as gods and take people on trekking to insert. a guy like her but it will why do. we have to start earning money quickly. my family has supported my climbing but if i can start earning money with it and improve our financial situation that will change but. that's true they'd stop supporting us. let's news this opportunity. right now our families are doing all they can to support us so we have to do everything we can to make them proud of us if we can find work we can support them

. but the climbers won't qualify as mountain guides unless they conquer the summit . was. to drop has decided not to play it safe he's chosen a new route for the ascent and gone to assess it. the women waited in the camp they're pleased to see their teacher back safely. thanks. to. both of them thank you so much for your cousin if you. don't think i've gone through the entire area where you're from this is going to be a big challenge. some of this the victim close enough to see that rock fall section between the glacier and the ridge we're going to cross that there's deep snow up there yeah yeah yeah man you're going to prison and then it isn't me talking to you

with a murder so to get here like i climbed over the ridge to make sure that the way back down was ok 1st i hope. you can do it for themselves. if you're going to go around in order thank you so thank you but some rain is a little worried about what lies ahead and i particularly want to get credit for being using it so i feel good and i think i'll try to go up tomorrow the only problem is that it could snow up there that's what scares me the most sometimes weeks you can clearly see snow on the summit but i'm going to try anyway. just because a few. of us. will have to wait till after sunrise the sun will make the ice softer so the easier to reach the summit will make a god willing. and we'll get back to camp safe and sound.

we should sing some songs tomorrow will sing loud enough to make the mountains echo our songs. dawn and finally time to start the final ascent. the climbers are inspired by the sight of the summit they're excited about taking a route no one has taken before the good route hopes the new route will help the 6 edition make headlines which could make it easier for his students to break into the tourism industry. the prospect boosts the team spirit says they set out.

over the difficult. to. head out. to. the far. end an elevation of 5000 meters the rocky landscape gives way to the edges of the glacier. there's a lot less oxygen up here than the climbers are used to and it's colder too. because some of the women are already suffering from headaches and. exhaustion. but they have to stay alert at all times one misstep could have serious consequences like falling into a crevasse. some are you ok. oh yes very much oh unfortunately the crevice is structured in such

a way that some rain doesn't get stuck and she's still secured to the rope team she manages to find a foothold and the rest of the climbers work together to pull her out. so it's. going to. be. thank. god. well i got the circus 15 that that was really close if she hadn't been secured to the climbing rope she'd have been in real trouble. but as it was we managed to bring her up pretty quickly for the ride as i. could right doesn't want to take any more risks he goes ahead to

check the route. yet but that's out there more crevasses. i'm not going to get there not if you notice that you're slipping spread your arms so that you can grab the edges. of. the climbers continue to wade through the snow at an elevation of 5100 meters every step takes a toll on their strength. their pushing themselves to limit. the. right of the movement should. thank. the team is for. to take frequent breaks we'll be able to make it to the summit today thank. you to and some rain in particular are having a tough time dealing with the physical exertion and the lack of oxygen. thanks

thanks thanks to this news the past they are that worries me. because you seem so much that you can hardly move forward. you know i can do this on my own but i think you'll struggle. but we're following your tracks did you know we're still not it's not that simple if you haven't got a clue about the risks involved we probably can't even use ascended devices up there. you see live to murder us we know it's too dangerous so if we get into trouble no one will be able to help us see it was very. we'll have to try another route tomorrow yes so let's stop and try again tomorrow. it's not that long and let's head back down but i think.

there are too many hazards on this route the climbers decided to call off the attempt. it had a very long day. for links to restore my legs hurt a lot with every step i sank deep into the snow and i had trouble moving forward. i don't see there in that region with the overhang was the hardest part of the things but right there were lots of loose rocks and i was pretty scared of the truth so i will skip thank. the climbers set up camp at 4800 meters. they'll start out again for the summit tomorrow morning but the take a much longer route didn't just if they don't manage to make this 2nd descent they may not get the certification they'll need to become nothing guides.

spirits are low that night in the camp. the climbers are disappointed and exhausted and the thin atmosphere and the worry robbed them of sleep. the women are eager for the morning. with on sky is overcast and it's windy in the camp already. the winds will likely increase as the climbers approach the summit and added difficulty. together the group has decided to try anyway.

to drop hopes the climbers will be able to deal with the physical and psychological stress this day is sure to bring. finally the sun breaks through the clouds it softens the snow and ice which is good news for the climbers. thanks. but directly below the summit the next challenge presents itself a steep ice wall. thank you team has to link up again with climbing ropes and make their way slowly with pick axes and traction devices. thank you thank you thank you

thank you. thank you. thanks. with the end almost in sight the women conquer the wall they're now close to their goal the summit. that was the word of god gives some final instructions he warns his students to watch out for hidden crevices and tells them to stay focused. on her bow. ok we've made it this far despite the bad weather we're close to the summit. it will take us about 20 minutes to get there and look out for each other keep a safe distance from one another and use your traction devices all right let's move out watercourses that. writer director.

at last the summit comes into view at 5300 meters elevation. for a new summary and the rest of them call on their last reserves of strength as they start the final approach. you know. her.

more moderate more may have made it after 4 days of strenuous effort these women are the 1st female team to have conquered the summit of shiftiness are. going to want to run graduations give me a good job in the heat so much further. let's pray. i hear more thank. i. the climbers give thanks to our law that they have achieved their goal. oh yes oh. no are you very. well or.

are. there women take a moment to enjoy the spectacular view from the summit overlooking their home the karakoram range. so i have always dreamed of standing on top of a mountain but i never thought i'd actually do it so i'm really happy right now it is a war it's a job. i climb to 5000 made to mountain now i want to do 860087000 . women can stop to enjoy their achievement for too long the team needs to get back down to the valley and back to their everyday lives.

to a casual observer it seems that nothing here has changed but by conquering the summit of shiftiness are new and the others have learned important new skills skills they're convinced will help them build a better life for themselves and their families. their women have become more confident they're ready to take on new responsibilities and perhaps to work together to create new business opportunities . they now have a vision of what their future could be. i had to shock over 1. $133.00 jerry when he has dreams mind learn to conquer the

highest mountains he was at the end i've now become a better climber it is so i want to go even further next time and i would call written work of course better than ever going to high school doctor. i now know that mountaineering as part of who i am. i want to take on more difficult climbs and be the best that i can be called is that the end of the always ingleside cue is i think i want to marry a man who shares my passion for mountaineering she's of into and who encourages me in my work as if she's of it he should be as enthusiastic as i am about mountain climbing or chiquita as in calculus traits and keep your interest should let me do what i dream of doing or 2nd list if i meet such a man and we get engaged we'll discuss all that much of the and i'll marry you but only if he agrees to those conditions set up too from a set of punishing of the best ways and makes. you.
