THE 2008 ANNAPURNA SOUTH FACE/EAST RIDGE EXPEDITION
 | Located in the central Himalaya region of Nepal, the summit of Annapurna is highly coveted ground. Of the fourteen 8000 meter mountains on earth, none has seen fewer attempts or successful summits as Annapurna. To date, less than 160 people have stood on her summit, compared to 3000+ total Everest summits, and 265 total summits on K2. The venerable Maurice Herzog first successfully climbed the mountain in 1950, four years before Everest's summit was reached, testimony to the difficult nature and elusive reputation of the mountain. |

(12:25 AM - Nepal Time) Talking from Bamboo en route to Jinhu Danda where natural hot springs await, "I have left Base Camp. Dan is a day behind me. We'll meet for a little R& R in Jinhu. I'm looking forward to the change from the snow and cold to a well deserved soak." Don will then travel on to Katmandu via Pokhara.
Don has about 12 days before another climbing expedition begins. Wait for more details to be posted. |
