Nejc Zaplotnik

Nejc Zaplotnik is remembered as an exceptional man and his autobiographical book The Way, is dealing with Nejc’s climbing life. Besides climbing several new routes in the mountains of Slovenia, he was active in the Alps, Yosemite and the Himalayas, where he climbed new routes on Hidden Peak, Makalu and Everest (the West Ridge).

Nejc Zaplotnik died under an ice avalanche on the South face of Manaslu with his expedition colleague Ante Bucan.

Annapurna Trekking and Manaslu base camp

A short -making of video- of the documentary from Nepal Himalaya, where we shot a movie about Nejc Zaplotnik. Trip took us to Manaslu base camp and we also completed the Annapurna Trekking Circuit.

Throughout Bernadette McDonald's new book Alpine Warriors, she threads the inspired writing of Nejc Zaplotnik, helping us to understand what drove the Slovenian mountaineers and what - despite the attrition - kept them on their path.
