[NO NEW UPDATES] Expedition Dispatches: Kishtwar Shivling

Kishtwar isn't happening...

Peter_sept12 Kishtwar-Shiviling isn't happening! Attempts to get porters to journey over the Umasi La pass have failed forcing adjustment in objectives. Kun (7090m) has an impressive 4000ft West face that will provide a challenging new route, specially as the rock buttress tops out within metres of the summit. It's always strange to have to adjust one's plan but psyche is the main thing and ours is brimming over!

Weather is bolstering our motivation, clear skies and strong sunshine are melting the fresh fallen snow and returning the granite walls to amenable climbing conditions. Last night we returned down valley and camped in Ringdom Two hours in jeeps will place us at the glacier's snout where our foot approach will commence.
