Thanks for your vote and comments on the page, most highly appreciated!
Also, thanks for the proofread. I found several similar ones after posting, but missed these. It's interesting how when you write something you tend to see what you wanted to say rather than what is actually there. Also a problem in debugging your own software. These are all the result of the numerous changes that the text went through before I finally posted it.
Looking forward to some outings with you this summer. Currently scheduled to leave Singapore around Memorial Day. Take care and thanks again.
Just found this one-what an epic effort on this page! Nelson, you're missing a huge high pressure system in Colorado right now. The massive melt-off has officially started. They are calling for a potential record high of 94 degrees tomorrow. Later.
Thanks much Kane. It took me about 10 evenings here in my Singapore hotel to put the page together. No doubt my best writing occured after making the rounds of several bars drinking Tiger beer and/or G&Ts. I'll be coming home on May 27, hopefully to get some snow climbs in before it's all gone. See you around.
Wow. I wish I could go there. I wouldn't mind giving up luxuries like food and shelter in order to save some cash and head over that way. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks very much for the vote. Actually writing is tough! I worked on this page on and off for a couple of weeks before I posted it. But I'm glad you like it. That means it was worth the effort.
Thanks Brian. I think this might have been the favorite region that I have visited in Nepal. Would love to hike up the Zemu Glacier some day and check out Kanch from that side.
Thanks for your vote. The peak is an insignificant bump compared to what surrounds it, so it is officially unnamed. The approximate elevation is 5950 meters, so I simply applied that as its name. Calling an unnamed peak by its elevation is fairly common.
An alternative historically employed in the Himalaya is to number peaks in the order that they were surveyed within a given area. Thus, Everest was once known as Peak XV, and K2 (that name stuck) was the second peak surveyed in the Karakoram.
