"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Untitled CommentFor a peak of the great height and importance of this one the information is far to thin and much much more needs to be added. Also the page definitely needs more photographs.

Untitled CommentThis page looks like an advertisement for your company!
It merely demostrates however that you don't know anything about Rakaposhi which doesn't make for a very good advert!
I gave you some info to add a month ago... coordinates and how to get to the mountain and they were never incorporated.
THIS PAGE IS NEGLECTED!!!!
ADOPTION???

Untitled CommentThis is an important peak, it is good to have it added to Summitpost.
But it needs more information:
"yes there is summit fees" - how much money? Who do you pay? Where? How long in advance?
"there are rules for wildlife conservation" - what are these rules?
And so on. Don't worry if your English isn't very good, just write down all the information that would be useful to a climber.

Untitled CommentNeeds work. It should be a complete page with as much information as possible. Not just a place to hang your guiding service. I do not have a problem with you including your company but the page must be useful. William

Untitled CommentSorry to vote so low. Excellent photos!! Page needs more information. This is a very famous mountain, and much information is already available elsewhere, so we need more on the page for Summitpost.
Perhaps include grades, details of the first ascent, etc.
If you are still working on the page, I'll return later to view it and update my vote.

Untitled CommentAs noted below this page needs a lot more work for a significant mountain like Rakaposhi. Let me know if you any specific details, or better yet, just spend some time looking at various SP pages, then come back here and finish this one up. For example, check out Tirich Mir
I hope to upgrade my vote in the near future.

Untitled CommentSorry, but for a peak of Rakaposhi's dignity, this page is just not enough.
Tell me when more info is added and I'll up the vote.

Untitled CommentSomehow I get the feeling that I only posted this peak to advertise your own organization. SP is not billboard. I would not mind if you mention your expedition agency in a high quality page of Rakaposhi, but if this represents all you know of this great peak, I would certainly think twice before choosing you as a mountain guide... I think you do both us and yourself a favour if you put loads of more information on this page.
