Dihedral Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Chola Shan - Mountaineers in China Thursday, February 3, 7-9 p.m., The Mountaineers Building (300 Third Ave West Seattle, Wa 98119) A team of Mountaineers club members will present a slide show of their 2004 expedition to Chola Shan, a 20,360-foot Peak in the Shaluli Mountain Range of Western China. Following a two-day van ride from the city of ChengDu to a remote Tibetan town, the team hired local horse packers to carry gear to base camp at 14,000 feet. Over the following week, they traversed snowfields and negotiated heavily crevassed terrain to establish three successive high camps. On summit day the team joined forces with a team of Chinese and Tibetan climbers for the final push to the 20,360-foot summit. The presentation will cover the climb and cultural experiences of Western China, as well as the logistics of organizing the expedition. This is a free event. No registration is required.
