In October of 2006, Hansreudi Wirth a well known Swiss climber, protected his skin with our MelanSol®SPF-18 during his 7,525 meter (24,688 ft) ascent of Annapurna IV, in the Himalayas of Nepal.
 

"Above 6000 meters (about 19,800 ft.) my skin turned a light shade of red, however, by morning it had turned into the perfect tan." said Wirth. "I experienced no skin damage to my hands, face or lips."

If you hadn't known that he was one of the world's premier climbers, you would think he had just returned from Tahiti. If MelanSol® can effectively protect his skin and lips under these extreme conditions, imagine how well it will work for you.

Stay tuned...Hanreudi is planning another expedition to climb the tallest peak in India, around Mid-September. The entire team, including Sherpa's, will be using our new

MelanSol® SPF-25 during their ascent. We will keep you posted...
