Photojournal: Attempt on Mera

Schizophrenic Stuart Baker-Brown is planning to climb Everest to highlight the positive achievements of people with mental health problems.

As part of his preparation he recently visited Nepal to trek to Mera Peak, the highest mountain in Nepal that can be climbed by people without mountaineering experience.

“I wanted to climb Mera to test how my medication and my illness react at extreme altitude in extreme conditions,” he said.
