Re: Good !Thanks!
I hope to add a lot of new stuff in the next couple of weeks. A good thing to do when having a break from the climbing.

ExcellentGreat job ! Lots of good access info. Have you been to the area ;-)
Shame no summit pics though :-) Topo of route-line from BC ?
Some shots of an SUV, a road-sign and a friend's cat would also help, it seems.

Re: ExcellentI'll soon add some more stuff on the route page. Last night the connection decided to half give up, but it seems like (touch wood) I'm in a good internet cafe now, just next door to the Kirey Hotel btw.
I can add some photos from restaurants & cafes in Kashgar. Will that do instead of photos of my favorite pets?
:-)

Re: ExcellentI have some nice roadworks photos in the immediate area if that is any help! As for pets, the closest I can offer are some great market photos of a roasted dog and some sheeps heads if you can make a space for them somewhere at the top of the page. I also have lots of donkey photos.

Re: ExcellentSorry but the places close to the top of the page is reserved for some other photos I'll post soon. Some are from John's Cafe (including one with banana pancakes!), one is of a Landcruiser which had an unusual color, which makes it SOOO interesting. I think I even have some from the faaaantaaastic market, so don't bother taking time looking for your shots from there. The pet section of the page is not full yet though. The closest I got was the shot of the sheep.

Re: Good job!Thanks Michael. Yes, that BC spot is so beautiful + green grass and running water. I felt it was plain stupid to camp on rock, basically on the glaciers and on top of that only have silty water.

remarkable climbing historyHas activity picked up since 2005? Do you have any info on attempts/successful summits per year?
Corax - Jan 22, 2011 3:37 pm - Hasn't voted
Re: remarkable climbing historyI know the activity has picked up and there's at least one expedition a year now from what I know. I have no info on how many summits the peak have now or how many a year. The person to ask is probably Kong, an organizer in Kashi. I sent you a PM with his mail address if you want to contact him.
