British Kishtwar Expedition

Rosser led a team of nine up the Chenab into the Burt Nalla with the object of making the first ascent of Hagshu (6,330m). Though the technical difficulties of the climb were not thought considerable, persistent stonefall, avalanches and bad weather forced a retreat at 5,400m. Some medical research on intracranial pressures (ICT), involving holes in the head, was carried out. A film was made for the Mick Burke Award.
