You may have seen this on the BMC website. "Supported by the BMC, MEF and the 2009 Nick Estcourt Award, Nick Bullock and Andy Houseman have made the much coveted first ascent of the North Face of Chang Himal (6,802m), close to Kangchenjunga in Far East Nepal.

There is an article about them in this month's CLIMB magazine. Makes a good read!
