Stan, i'd like to have that bragging right but in all probability, he must have had the approach to the main summit in mind, access to which is indeed very hard. we went to the base camp of the eastern summit which is easier though it is still rated 'hard' (though i really don't know by what 'objective' standards). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
