Hi Guys,

Greetings from Skardu. Just got around to putting up some pics of what we were doing over August.

Had an awesome time and the weather was reasonably co-operative but very very deep snow in places.

Amazing pictures. Thanks for posting. Spantik looks like an incredible mountain.

dang those are gorgeous shots of a stunning range - nice work! trip report, pretty please with a cornice on top?

Thanks Guys,

The TR which may or may not be untitled 'Snow Falling on Sirdars' will be composed as soon as I hit ISB. Currently waiting on a PAF Hercules to pick up us stranded tourists in Skardu.

hahahHa! nice name! keep it! if they let you, take pics of the Hercules return trip too - that's cool stuff

I soo wanted to catch the Herky Bird but we ended up getting a lame PIA 737. This was still very cool. as we were expecting a 30 hour mini bus ride.

As promised
