Re: Marvelous view!Yes! Thanks. I'm aware of those peaks. I have read several books about the famous expeditions to K2 etc. and seen many pictures from up around Concordia for example. If you have any shots of Baintha Brakk, (The Ogre) on the north side of the Biafo Glacier I would like to see them.
