Correct.

Several here have done this climb by moonlight.




It was very remote when I first climbed it.
Then they paved a road to within 1km.
I guess its a trade-off. It becomes an easy one day trip, but loses much of its charm.

Seems to be analogous to much of todays climbing.
But at least donini can't complain about this being a nonclimbing thread, just hope he can zip it about the locale. After all, according to the Crimpster, its marginal at best,..

Here's the back side.







Actually just practicing with the photo posting.
Seems to take forever to upload. Is that standard for dial up?

hey there piton ron... say, very impressive looking photos, though...

great coloring...

say, takes me long, on dial up too, to upload....

though, on occasion, my photos upload faster HERE, than anywhere else (for me to post them), but:
while waiting to see those pics by others, THAT seems to take "forever"...

Looks like the standard gear: some wavy stuff, a goat, an antelope, and a good selection of curses. The duck mystifies me, though.

He's there to poop on the guy's head.
Of course. It's all right there.
