Their names are perhaps familiar only to mountaineering aficionados, but they convey a sense of wonder that inspires all our imaginations. Often extremely difficult to even reach, if not climb, they are a source of both fascination and foreboding.
The common denominator of these natural sky-scrapers : they are all generally sacred places, and their inhabitants regard them as veritable gods. The local populations, in harsh, even menacing environments, perpetuate rituals and traditions that are of great importance in their everyday lives. Tourism and mountain-based sporting activities may have developed considerably, but such places still retain an aura of mystery that we shall reveal through this spectacular series.
