On 6 September 2015, after 1,5 days of climbing, the whole Tagas Expedition Team (Maciek Bedrejczuk, Maciek Janczar, Tomek Klimczak and Marcin Wernik) stood on top of the untouched summit at the height of 5809 metres above sea level (Lachit Valley, Pakistan), marking a Rolling (D) Ice route on the northern slope. On the way up the team had to deal with hard ice, unplanned camping in space blankets as well as bad weather on the second day of climbing, which lasted until they came back to the base camp. The whole mountain adventure took three days from leaving the base to coming back. The name of the summit will be selected by the donors who supported the expedition through the PolakPotrafi website.
The expedition is held under Link to Poland’s media patronage.

International film festivals, frequented by representatives of the entertainment industry and audiences looking for exhilarating audio-visual experience, have long played an important role not only in promoting the art of film itself, but also in supporting filmmakers and their projects.
