A new year, a new approach for "What's New Asia", thanks a lot to <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/mountains/user_link.pl/user_id/570"><b>* Nelson</b> </a> for having done a great job in 2005. The idea of this thread is to bring under a wider attention of Summitpost members/visitors new contributions about Asian mountains and everything that is related to it.
We will try our utter best, in between our extensive roaming of the peaks, to filter out as much as possible ourselves, but after all we are only yeti's and with our limited intelligence and limited available time we are sure to miss entries every now and than. So we ask you to be of help to us and attend us on the things we have obviously missed, so we can enter them here. Please always make active links to the item concerned in your message, in order to make our work easier.
In this thread, the following items are concerned, (click on an active link, -underlined- to see item):

Hi Y.U.
I've just posted up a trip report on my Lobuche East page. Still struggling how to put a photo in the text tho' despite reading thru the FAQ advice. Just too technical for this old timer probably!

Thanks for the addition, fdoctor, has been added.

Hi again
Just posted up a trip report on an Island Peak trip 2004 with my late Sherpa friend
fd

Done! thanks for posting. Sad to hear that your Sherpa friend is no longer amongst us.

Note: As during winter we are a lot behind the computer, a good deal of what is being posted about Asian mountains, is detected quite soon by us and added to the starting message before you get the chance of mentioning it in this thread. So before you put a message in the thread, please check wether it is not already there in the starting message.
As a edit of the starting message does not show up as a new contribution to the thread, it might thus happen that for some times no new messages are added to it and the thread sinks away in the Asia board page. That does however not mean that nothing at all is happening and it might be worthwhile to visit every now and than to see what was edited in if you are a lover of Asian mountain submissions.

Done. Thanks for the submission! Big or small that should not be the question: When it is in Asia and, even remotely, describable as a mountain, it belongs here!

Note: Apart from entries concerning "new photographs of special significance", we do not make any judgements here about quality and usefulness. Meaning that "is it in Asia?" is our sole criterium for entering things here. Consequence is that you may find things ranging from "four star" to "should be adopted or deleted" over here.

Done. Thanks for signing us in Peter, adopted/revamped pages are the hardest to spot by ourselves and thus we depend on announcement made here.
