We're up here: Looking like ants in a giant rock garden, intrepid climbers become the first to scale uncharted 1,000ft structures in a land that time forgot By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 4:39 AM on 7th June 2011 If you blinked, you might miss these two intrepid climbers, looking like ants in a giant rock garden. But they made history by being the first mountaineers to ascend an awesome formation in a remote part of Chad. Untouched by humans, this is the stunning desert home to the stacks, arches and 1,000 feet walls of rock that dominate the Ennedi Plateau - long regarded as the holy grail of the climbing community. 'It's fair to say we were like kids in a candy store', said climber and photographer Jimmy Chin. 'This was like finding a new continent for climbers, literally. I was stunned at the rugged nature of the landscape.' Scroll down for video  Making history: Two of the climbers ascend the 'Wine Bottle' rock for the first time in Chad's remote Ennedi desert after travelling hundreds of miles across desert  Climbing: James Pearson is seen making the first ascent of the 'Citadel' formation in the Ennedi desert in Chad  Is it much further?
