On 4 September 2016, Elton led the expedition team comprising some local television artists and the TVB Crew to the Mt Manaslu. The Crew suffered from various ill effects of the high altitude once they set foot at the Base Camp at 4,850 metres. Only one artist managed to get to Camp 1 at 5,800 metres, and the whole crew retreated thereafter, leaving Elton on his solo adventure to the very top. On 30 September, Elton made it to the Summit of Manasalu at 8,163 metres, the second Hong Kong person to succeed in such expedition. The expedition was captured and subsequently broadcast on TVB's program Heaven and Earth, in celebration of the station's anniversary.
