VF - woo hoo. Good to see you back. Only reason I check this forum is for your pics, of helicopters, mountains AND culture. Check ur WhatsApp.
And what brings you to that side of सगरमाथा? Great view of the Norton Couloir 1984 Aussie route up that face, and how thin but deep the Hornbein couloir is.
G'day CS... hoping Your compressor doesn't stall too often; it ain't fun! Sorry Mate I can't post culture, girls, dogs or food; it's a jail-able offense
As for the deaths up there on Everest, it's only gonna get worse with the government greed to allow more & more & more punters up there at anyone time without proper controls, checks or balances to ensure Guides, Porters & Climbers are suitably qualified & equipped. The click is from the Nepali side actually, the border is a bit wobbly
Yaaar that was the White Limbo climb, never to be repeated....too challenging
Seems I can't post pix anyways
