Yunnan Province
Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 3:18 am
Hi All.
I'm going to China on Wednesday next week. I live at 7,300' but will spend my first 3 weeks working in Beijing. I then have a week off during which time I plan to spend in Yunnan province, in Dali and Shan-gri-la. Anyway, I am thinking of trying to climb something out there. If I could scamper up a 6,000m peak it would be awesome. I've never been that high but have been close to the top of Citlate'petl in Mexico which is just under that. The deal is I don't have much time to plan anything before I go, I can't carry climbing gear etc. But I am thinking of something that would be basically a 1-3 day outing with a guide. I'd need the guide to provide ALL gear. If no one thinks this is doable on such a short time scale uggestions for a lower mountain to climb (i.e. hike) out of Yunnan would be appreciated.
