MY 57th BIRTHDAY
We started up towards Tilicho Lake. This was the view looking back down towards Manang.
This is taken from a German website - 'Die Berge des Himalaya' with the mountains labled. (Clicking on the picture should make it larger and readable)
The Great Barrier was right next to us giving off the occasional small avalanche.
Middle of the day we reached Tilicho Lake - still frozen over - at 4,919 m. We looked down on it from just over 5,000 m.

Many photographs taken. Here, Joe, Phil, Sir Chris & myself.
