Kanchen Gola Wild 2002 - the top teamThe trek was a true classic, partly because we had such a
good team, both crew and trekkers. Yes, a few of the pictures are repeats. The Olangchung Gompa was a highlight and here we are
offered tibetan tea (salt-butter tea). |
Exploring; it was hard to get everyone together, her we
are missing Filip and Bob R had already turned back.
Soon after this Nicola has to return early, since her holidays weren't long
enough.
The hard men, Richard, Filip and Joel (and Jamie took the picture).
The climbers, Peter (left), Filip, Richard, Brian and David almost washed out.
Up at our high camp a star crew looked after us, and more than deserve their
photo here, but I don't have one.
The orange men, some of our star hard core Trisuli porter team. Here on the last
wilderness camp they enjoy a fire of
carefully selected dead wood. It is impossible to deny them fire so we ensure
that only dead wood is taken.
We provided the jackets and pants and other gear and Jamie with Bal Bahadur's
help ensured the loads were reasonable.
Our porters were the unsung heroes of the trek, they just carried and carried
without complaint or fuss. THANKS!

Filip and Jeff work out that the map is wrong.
After nearly three weeks of real trekking we arrived in Ghunsa to beer. Lots of
beer.
From the left: Heidi, Joel, David, Richard, Brian and Filip ducking in.
Our Nepali crew were also good. From the left: Dawa, assistant cooks, Nawang
(star climbing sherpa), a couple of porters,
Tashi (who despite being inexperienced did a good job) and Kipa in the down
jacket.
Almost the full team at the end. Missing were Bob R, Nicola and Dr Andy who had all returned early.
