Hard to believe it was just one year ago I was tackling high altitude and long ascents in Nepal. This photo was taken the day we left a Buddhist monastery and climbed past a yak farm and then kept ascending and climbing and going up and gaining altitude. It was one of the longest climbs I have ever tackled. At the end we got a marvelous view of glaciated peaks far higher than anything we see in the Western hemisphere.
