Tstab Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Trip: Rolwaling Valley, Nepal - ice climbs and 6K peak Date: 2/1/2012 Trip Report: Recently returned from my first overseas climbing trip. It was killer. Did some ice and mixed cragging and a 6000m peak. The trip was sparked from this website http://climbnepal.blogspot.com/2010/03/rolwaling-ice-climbing-asias-beyul-of.html We spent a few days in Kathmandu, then a 12 hour bus ride from hell to the trail. Four days of hiking led us to the village of Bedding. We stayed here for 4 weeks. It took about a week to get acclimated before we could do harder climbs without getting too outta breath. we also climbed a 6000meter peak thats name will remain anonymous. There is so much potential in this valley for ice and hard mixed climbs its crazy. Most climbs were about 100m or so. The pics can do the rest of the talking. The start of the trek View from the sherpa village There is lots more ice like this Steep featured WI5 Mid route fun Dont slip just a 6000m peak figuring out the approach mid route nice view long way to go still sherpa new year celebration sherpa good times 85meter M5 WI5 lost at sea just another day in nepal slight delay on the way out Spin to Win Buddha is watching you Gear Notes: battery powered speakers,ipod and solar panel Approach Notes: Qatar air Quote
burchey Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks for posting, looks like a frickin blast. I've got my eye on some 6000M peaks in Peru for next year - I'd need some practice/protein powder/snake juice before I do anything that tech at that altitude, though. Quote
wayne Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Looks good, been wondering when we would see some pixels. Thanks Tim Quote

JasonG Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 How did you add the photos? If you add them using the camera icon above the text box they should drop in at a much larger size. Quote
