Woohoo, I actually summited this one when I was 11 years old (Gumachi). Thanks for posting the page!! I will try to dig out some photos from there from my dad's archives.
It's a nice little peak in beautiful surroundings and it felt like bliss to have a really easy summit for a change, after many hard days in the Bezengi area.
It took some time before I realized with the Taliban comment.
Yes, I grew a long beard just to blend in a bit better and as my beard is a bit reddish and I obviously resembles an Afghani from the Nuristani parts, most people I met thought I was from that province.
A very interesting visit actually, sad of course, but still very interesting to have been in a country while a really draconic regime was in power.

Dig deep in your father's collection :-)
Some better photos would be very appreciated.

Untitled CommentSaw this one on your other web-site. Good thing you were Taliban compliant with the 45 day beard rule!
