Makalu Gau began his journey to knock off the world's most famous peaks in 1982, starting out in Tibet for his first attempt at climbing Everest in 1992, but he was forced back at 8000 m by a ferocious snowstorm. After that, he was determined that he would return one day.
高銘和 1982 年開始遠征海外知名高峰，1992 年曾由西藏登聖母峰，但在 8,000 公尺處不敵風雪，被迫折返，當時就下定決心還要再去。
