Jhandark

June 13, 2007 This was either the middle or the south Jhandark Needle. These did not pose much of a technical challenge. The very tip of Kholeno the Small 4350 m on the right.

Re: Tremendous

I saw it on your site. Did anyone say where the name "Jhandark" came from?

Re: came from

Yes, thanks

To my knowledge, Jhandark is the same French person that in English is known as "Joan of Arc". I just do not understand why the name of a French historical person is on an Iranian Mountain. Are you aware of any mountains in France that are named after Iranian characters such as "Koorosh Bozorg" or "Khaarazmi"...?

Re: came from

No no it's not a name of a person. A Friend (Mr Ali Parsai) told me that is a changed expression of "gendarme" that means "Rock tower".

Re: came from

As I said in the main page too, I always suspected that "Jhandark" was a misnomer for "Gendarme”.

We then need to call these needles "Jhandarm" not "Jhandark".
