Every year, thousands make the pilgrimage to Kailash, following a tradition going back more than a millennium. When the weather turns against those on the mountain, people die. Ryan is in for the adventure of a lifetime.
Ryan makes the long journey to western Sichuan in summer, in the middle of the summer monsoon season, to attempt the epic trek to the monastery at the base of the Sacred Mountain Minya Konka, known as "The King of Sichuan Mountains".
Ryan's mission is to circumnavigate the enormous Amne Machin Mountain, once misrepresented as the tallest mountain in the world. The journey will take Ryan hundreds of miles up and over rolling grasslands at nosebleed altitudes.
Ryan has left his most challenging adventure until last. The Journey around Kawa Karpo takes Ryan up and over no less than five high-passes as he crosses the deep river gorges in China's northern Yunnan province.
