Bad Weather Not Allowing Fun...
It became evident that weather was not going to allow us access to steeper fun. Borang Doral our liason officer along with the three of us felt it time for exodus after our road closed for two days due to a storm, plus Tapa our cook informed of being trapped in the region on a prior visit!It seems the unfortunate incident whereby the porters refused to travel over the Umasi La pass cost us the trip!
There is a village immediately below the East pillar we intended to climb and perhaps future stability in the region will allow drive-up access but for now a strange 'catch 22' situation seems to exist: Access over the pass is refused after the monsoon and expeditions are not allowed via road!? Perhaps a fine mild winter would be okay for Kisthwar's pre-monsoon conditions? - The North FaceTrackBack
