      Under the Big Mountain

       So often the stories that make their way down from the Himalayas are of great personal achievements where people have overcome many obstacles and come together in order to ski or climb something impressive. Under the Big Mountain is not so different in that it's a story of people coming together and overcoming obstacles but where it differs is that the project is one of a more selfless nature than climbing and skiing something exceptional. This is the story of a crew that seeks to give back to the people of the Khumbu Valley by establishing a climbing area for the locals and hosting climbing clinics to teach those who wish to learn.
