Hasn't voted | Is that an avalanche?
Anyway, looks pretty awful in a really good way. Might just have to give that one shot sometime... | | Posted Nov 13, 2008 1:56 am |

Hasn't voted | Thanks for your comment. I checked the series I took to find out that the upper moisture is from snowstorm or clouds because almost not moving. The lower is a "small" avalanche, because in the next picture I have it's been moving further down. Good detail you watched, I didn't even realise it first!!! | | Posted Nov 13, 2008 6:21 am |

Hasn't voted | Thanks, flying over is cool, but you should go there one day. It's a very inspiring cicuit around the mountain. | | Posted Nov 14, 2008 11:26 am |
| rickford | Great shot! | | 
Voted 10/10 | Nikman, do you know anything about the ridge on the right side of the photo? That thing looks perfect. I would love to climb that and then traverse the knife edge to the main summit... Thanks for sharing this! | | Posted Nov 14, 2008 10:51 am |
| | Nikman | Re: Great shot! | |
Hasn't voted | The normal route goes up behind that ridge to the right. This perspective is a little disturbing. I saw the mountian from all sides and know from the other perspectives, that it's not really a ridge to the right even it looks like from this pic.
Compare this one from the north: http://www.summitpost.org/image/463266/150687/manaslu-summit.html
But it's possible going up NE-flank to the east pinnacle and then traversing to mainsummits. Polish climbers already did so. | | Posted Nov 14, 2008 11:22 am |

Voted 10/10 | I've never seen a summit like that! Looks like
(at one time) the east pinnacle and the main
summit were connected, and then a giant piece
of the summit broke off into what was probably a very massive and amazing avalanche.
Simply amazing!!!

Hasn't voted | Thanks for your comment. You are right, Manaslu is pretty amazing because the sights change from each side a lot. | | Posted Nov 15, 2008 3:52 am |
