Ayesha and I are sitting together as I post this. We remember.

Wannabe climbers have to remember that bravery on the mountain slopes is

good in story books and movies. It does not happen that way. She had

taken all the necessary training, she had all the gear, she was climbing high,

sleeping low, she had her altitude medication with her. And then..

We remembered the rush to Kathmundu. The wait for the plane to S'pore for

urgent medical attention. She had forgotten one important lesson.

Her physical limitations. Chronic renal failure was one result.

Rushing from mountain peaks while managing a life threatening condition

is the stuff nightmares are made of.

We see this image..that is where she was headed..


See that crevice on your lower left. Looks simple, no? That took its toll on

me. And I hardly walk up the stairs, nowadays.

The Annapurna range.

I'll bet she said yes! (Being married to a woman cut from the same cloth.) But I think the flowers seem like a good idea.

Thanks Gary. :salute: It is a lovely trek if one knows one's limits and stays

within them. Limits of physical endurance, that is.

The glacial ice on which one walks is sharp. Human flesh is like butter if one

sustains a hard fall.


Our friends ( a Gurkha and his wife ) and me carry Ayesha down over the

moraine and compressed ice. Rocks would be better; so we think.

Indeed, yes.

All best to you both. :salute:

Beautiful shot in the prior post. Amazing dynamic range in that one.
And our best to the both of you too.:salute:

A last and longing look for old time's sake..at least we have seen the past.

Lovely Ray
. . and Brian - great first shot.

Here's a quick snap from yesterday's walk . . .but sometimes quiet simplicity does it for me

M9 - 75 cron

These lovely Oaks are sleeping for the winter, but come the beginning of May they'll be bursting out again.
