You can download self-filmed video footage of Berghaus-sponsored, Challenge 8000-man Alan Hinkes on the summit of Kangchenjunga right now.
If you're wondering what it must feel like to stand on the summit of your 14th 8,000er then check out the Berghaus web site where there's a short video taken by Alan Hinkes on top of Kangchenjunga.
The file, in Windows Media format (WMV) is complete with sound and shows Alan's characteristic summit celebration as he holds a photograph of daughter Fiona and his grandson Jay for the camera.
He then points out that it's getting dark, he needs to get down and gives a slightly suppressed 'Yeah!' in celebration before breaking into an altitude cough and heading down...
