Hi Glen,
Thanks for posting this. When the clouds clear it is an absolutely wonderful view!
Years ago, if you wanted to know what the weather was like there you had to
either walk or fly there or tune in to special shortwave broadcasts for expeditions
from the transmitters of All India Radio. Amazing now how you can click on the web!
The camera shows the south summit and you can see the southeast ridge route
on the right of the mountain.
Snapshot attached taken late 1985 outside the office of Tenzing Norgay at the
Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling, India.
He passed away a few months later in early 1986 and was cremated at the Institute.
