In 2003 he and Nadine Saulnier made a cycle crossing of the uninhabited and trackless 5,000-metre-high Chang Tang plateau of Northern Tibet. The crossing resulted in a short film, Too Tired, which was part of the series "Into The Unknown" on National Geographic's international channel. Corax wrote an article about his crossing in the Japanese Alpine News.[1]

During later trips in Tibet, Corax claimed the first ascents of several 6,000-metre Tibetan mountains.
