A huge congratulations to our own Henry (right), who successfully summited Mont Blanc (4,805.59m) on Saturday in support of the Tendi Sherpa Foundation @tendisherpafoundation.

The foundation works to improve education, healthcare and opportunities for Sherpa communities in Nepal, helping to create lasting positive change in some of the world’s most remote mountain regions.

The climb demanded serious technical mountaineering skills, including crevasse crossings, exposed ridge scrambling and navigating challenging alpine terrain at high altitude. Alongside the ascent, Henry was also documenting the expedition for Moncler, with photography from the trip set to feature in Vogue France.

An incredible achievement both on and off the mountain.
