“MERU stands out as one of the most meaningful first ascents of my life.

Not only is the route stunningly beautiful, but also I experienced a multigenerational mentorship with Conrad and Jimmy. It was a true collaboration with The North Face product team, refining Summit Series gear like this jacket.

The rare convergence of cutting-edge design, lifelong friendship, and a Himalayan first ascent is a once-in-a-lifetime moment in high-stakes alpinism for which I’m incredibly grateful.”
