| Mustagh Ata (7546m, 24750ft) lies in western China, about 25 Kilometers east of Tajikstan and about 75 kilometers north of Pakistan. It was attempted in 1947 by the famous British climbers Shipton and Tilman, who turned back only about 100m below the summit exhausted from making a trail in the deep soft snow and suffering from altitude sickness and frostbite. The same three problems of deep soft snow, altitude and severe cold, have plagued climbers ever since. Otherwise, it is an easy mountain.

K-2
K2 is located on the border of Pakistan and China. Being the second highest mountain in the world, it is thought by many climbers to be the ultimate climbing challenge. The giant Pyramid Peak towers in isolation 12,000 feet above the wide Concordia glacial field at the head of the Baltoro Glacier. The sheer icy summit is flanked by six equally steep ridges. Each of its faces presents a maze of precipices and overhangs. K2 was long considered to be impossible to climb. Attempts in 1902... by mashabrumexpeditions |

The Hanoi Fur Hunt
To evade some monotony of the fur hunt saga, I will skip the hunter’s Hoi An, and Hue escapades, and move on to Hanoi.
Hoi An really is an interesting little town that has retained it’s early Chinese influence and charm, (We loved Hoi An.)
Hue oozes with history from long ago, and also featured prominently in “The American War” Predominantly during the Tet Offensive.
We emerged from the Hanoi’s Noibai airport after a short flight from Hue, wondering if our hotel h... by bootbr |

Karuizawa Japans hidden gemSoon it was time to leave Kobe, changing trains in Tokyo at one of the busiest rail stations in Tokyo, and catching a smaller one for an hour’s ride out of town to a mountain retreat area in the town of Karuizawa.

here we were, fifty-five minutes down, the digital directory in our carriage said Karuizawa was only five minutes away, and we were still in built up areas.

In search of the Saigon Fur
Why am I awake so early? We had a long day of traveling yesterday, we were really zonked out by the time our heads hit the pillow, it’s now five am, and I am awake, rearing to go.
How come E… is still sending up a constant flow of ZZZZZZZZZZ’s sleeping her ears off?
Perhaps I am a little bit excited to be here, and maybe my body clock is still working on Oz. Time. (Three hours ahead of VN time.)

The Mekong Meander
(Or Up the creek in search of fur)
Still my taste buds were craving for a mouthful of fur. The Vietnamese beer was a great drop, and a price well below Coke or Sprite, but not a morsel of fur had graced my tucker tube. E…. , and our traveling companions still shuddered at the thought of the un-known, and weren’t committing themselves until the time came for the fur to tickle their taste buds.
