1) Riding the tears of Everest - Darren Clarkson-King
Everest cries two rivers of tears into Nepal, the Dudh Kosi and Arun Gorges, both remote and challenging white water rivers. These rivers have seen seldom descents. In the spring Darren will make a solo unsupported descent of these rivers, back to back.
