Overview
Denial Mayer was our first client who provided us opportunity to handle foreign expeditions in year 1995. That was a time of “no internet, no mobile phones and no social media”. The adventure seekers used to meet very unusually. This gentleman was in search of good trekking maps and he visited Mountaineering Institute Manali which is 2 Kms outside the town. On the way back, he saw our sign board and stepped in asking for some good quality trekking maps of CB ranges. We provided him few very old maps and this way we became friends. Two year later, he planner Climbing Nun and we were there to assist his team in Zanskar valley, although the expedition remained unsuccessful but it is worth to mention in every respect.
