Thanks for posting your wonderful pictures. Happily I seem to notice very few show evidence of damaged buildings or roads, infrastructure etc. from the earthqakes in Nepal. I hope that this is a sign that the country is getting back on its feet.....has the economy recovered yet?

You captured interesting moment at post #4165. It seems that some climber stepped on the cornice in the middle of the photo and apparently part of it fell off – you can see the the trace of the chunk down in the snow slope. The climber probably didn't like what he saw and decided not to continue on the edge, turned a bit back and traversed under the cornice.

This reminded me of my climbing era a quarter century ago...

Good observation Pali, enhance that part of the picture and it would be a great entry into the Caption Competition on the Mil Forum.

Always appreciate this thread VF - best on the internet IMHO. You go to Nepal for the mountains, you return because of the people.

Hey VF. I am currently flying a little old B412 in Malta doing EMS. Our biggest hill (bump really) is only 800 feet high and we have no rivers on the island. However, our scenery is beautiful and inspired by your thread I am thinking of start one titled "Bottom of the World" Our Maltese girls are certainly able to give your Nepalese girls a run for their money. We don't have many dogs but a sh*t load of cats! We have no snow but some dust. The beer is good too. The local speciality food is "Rabbit" cooked in red wine.What do yah think! Should I go for it? After about 12K hrs droning out over the ocean taking the oil bears to work and back a little flying on a small island doing good work for the people of Malta is just the tonic. My motorbike is bigger than yours though!

Go for it please! As someone with ties to Malta, I'd be very keen to see your pics, DB.
