[NO NEW UPDATES] Expedition Dispatches: Kishtwar Shivling

Snowybasecamp_sept18_2

Current scene can hardly be described as conducive for alpine climbing. Mornings have been reasonably friendly but by mid-day clouds have billowed into our valley and standardly cloak the peaks. Resulting snow takes time to melt even though morning sun can be strong. Main issue is that said sun is only evident until it rises into the forming cloud, usually by 10am-ish.

Peter_sept20_2 Bouldering proved a fine diversion earlier today, post-breakfast session was good for getting a fine pump on our solitary local gem. Super steep and perfect for post warm up projecting. The easy problems weigh in around V3 but the best are in the V7 to V 10 bracket. If tomorrows weather follows pattern then we'll head to the block and conclude some unfinished business.
