Thanks for the link Conrad.
Say...isn't Meru the objective Takeda had a few runs at?
Can't recall how that turned out...(maybe I need to read your report)

Maybe the Takeda objective was the Meru Shark's Fin...
Anyhow, the Thaw/Croft/Synott Kishtwar Shivling gig sounds like a good one to follow as well!

Gangotri region is sweet. Wish I could be there again soon. Is there still a Baba living in a hut on the glacier in Tapovan?

"P.S. The Toyota Camry so far has gotten alternator overhaul, new battery, new timing belt, new water pump, new spark plugs, new distributer cap and rotor, new front brake pads, new engine mounts, new camshaft and main bearing seals, new valve cover seal, new fuel filter, and new instrument panel with tachometer. "

I think I owe Werner a debt of gratitude for recycling that car properly.

Peace

Rather OT, but several manufacturers are now advertising their vehicles as "85% recyclable". I first saw it in an ad for Hummers on SuperTopo - talk about making the best of a weak hand! Then I heard it this morning on the radio, in an ad for Volvos.

I guess that all vehicles are 85% recyclable by normal means, plus or minus five percent.

they are doing the Shark's Fin.

Thanks for pointing out mention of the Thaw, Croft and Synnott climb on Shivling, Tarbuster.

Whats the process in starting a trip to a place like Gangori Region or other similar type areas of the Himalaya?

I don't so much mean for a big climbing expedition or I suppose not the first time there, but just to go and see. Anyone have any starting point suggestions? Rough ideas of cost? that type of thing?
