WATCH THE MOVIE

SIBERIA IS THE COLDEST PLACE ON EARTH BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP TAMARA LUNGER AND SIMONE MORO. ON FEBRUARY 11TH 2018 THEY SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE FIRST-EVER WINTER ASCENT OF POBEDA.

Standing 3,003m tall, Gora Pobeda is the highest peak in the Mounts Cerskij Range in Siberia - the world's coldest inhabited region.

The mixed-climbing route to the summit took Tamara and Simone just over seven hours; they covered 27.3km and 3,003m of elevation. And they did it all knowing that if they fell, rescue would be impossible.

Climbing in the warmest jacket The North Face has ever created, they summitted in just over 7 hours. In total, Tamara and Simone covered 27.3km and 3003mt elevation.

We had just 3 days of good, blue-sky weather throughout the whole expedition. In any case, the solitude and remote area showcased its astounding natural beauty

“This was an environment like no other. The journey alone was crazy - we had to take three planes just to get to the closest town to base camp”

When she was a 14-year old girl, she announced that one day she would climb an 8,000m mountain. She remained true to her word.
