\n\n\n\n
In Nepal, mountains dominate the landscape of most of the nation, living up to the Sanskrit meaning of Himalayas: "abode of the snow.” This extensive mountain range includes 9 of the 10 tallest mountains on earth. The Government of Nepal has recently opened several areas containing numerous 20,000 foot unclimbed peaks, which will be the focus of this five week expedition.
\n\n
\nOBJECTIVES:
\n
• Attempt the first ascent of Dwijen Himal 20,050 feet and Langju 20,885 feet. Both are gnarly unclimbed, stand-alone peaks in the central Himalayas.
\n
\n• Volunteer and help raise funds (over 20K has already been raised through the expedition) for The Rose International Fund for Children (TRIFC.org). Work is done primarily for hearing and visually impaired students. TRIFC’s mission is to improve the lives of children with disabilities in Nepal.
\n
\n• Collect high altitude snow and ice samples for Adventurers & Scientists for Conservation for studies on rapid glacial recession. Work in cooperation with The Snow Leopard Conservancy to gather information and evidence of snow leopards in areas where the climbers travel.

MEDIA EXPOSURE:
\n\n\n\n
\n\n
Lonnie Dupre’s history of mountaineering and polar explorations guarantees significant media exposure to this project. His recent solo ascent of Denali in January garnered 2+ million social media impressions mainly through OneWorldEndeavors.com and Facebook with direct exposure of his sponsors. Most of his corporate sponsors have continued their support for many years. The successful completion of Dupre's expeditions earned two TV appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Good Morning America, CNN and ABC World News, as well as printed exposure in the New York Times, Outside Magazine, LA Times and more.

\n\nconcept of "disciplined training" as a means for
\n\novercoming difficulties and pursuing objectives.
\n\nToday he is a professional guide from the ice of
\n\nthe Rocky Mountains to the peaks of the
\n\nAndes and Alaska.
