Unbelievably great page!! Does it get any better than this?! As I just told Scott on the Elbrus page, there can't exist a better concise page about Pik Lenin anywhere. Now back to reading the rest of it.
I'll start the What's New Asai thread in a day or so. There will be a section on "Reworked Pages". This will be the first entry.
What I really liked with Tomasz's climb is that he had no thoughts about breaking world records. It was all about riding down the peak. He carried the whole bike, without making it lighter.
There have been a lot of name changes in the former Soviet republics, but very few people would know which peaks I would refer to if I used the new names. I will change the name of the page when the new name has won general acceptance.
I have added your info on the main page now though.

Now most of the revamping is done and I'll see if I can find the time to dig deep in my slide collection before I head off to Pakistan.

Untitled CommentThanks a lot for the nice words Nelson!
It was a surprise the page got transfered to me and I was working on two other pages (Veladero and Koshtan), so I had to do the best of the situation.
Hopefully, I'll find some time to look in my slide collection for photos.

Untitled CommentThanks for the vote and for letting me know if something is missing.
I had link to an article about the womens' team, but for some reason I had forgotten to add it to the page. Now it's there in the "disaster section".
Thanks.

Untitled CommentDidn't they change the name of that peak? I thought it was peak Kaufman now. "Lenin" brings some rather unpleasant associations and memories.
