#1, Everest (dark pyramid left of center) viewed from Kala Pattar, a 5600m viewpoint. Many people ask me, how do you get here ? Fly to Katmandu, take another short flight to Lukla then a minimum 7 day walk to reach this view. Bring a warm sleeping bag, good shoes and lots of energy. The 22 days I spent wandering about the Everest Region was one of the top highlights of my trip. Nepal (10/99). |

#3, Kanchenjunga looms over Darjeeling from Tiger Hill, India (11/2005). |
#4, Lhotse during sunset from the comforts my room window. Good thing too, its way too cold outside even for a view this good. Lhotse's immense south wall is still unclimbed. Village of Dingboche, Everest Trek, Nepal (10/99) |
