joepuryear Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Had some fun in Nepal this winter. David Gottlieb and I made the first peak ascent of Takargo (6,771 meters) in the Rolwaling Himal. In addition to the peak we got to do a bunch of ice-climbing and live in a small Sherpa village. We pretty much had a fantastic 2-month trip. If you'd like to see more pics and read about the adventure, check out our blog: www.climbnepal.blogspot.com Here's a couple shots from the trip: Takargo from the East: David leading some ice up high: David leading below the summit ridge: Crossing the summit ridge to the summit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainmatt Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Awesome! Looks like a great set of climbs for sure! Skirting the huge serac field must have been fairly exciting at times. Was it mostly stable when you came around it? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepuryear Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Cool thnaks. We stayed far to the right of the ice cliff. We were never in danger of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
