A Mountaineering Journey to the Sharp Edge of the Nepal/Tibet Border

Things are really heating up for a Baruntse expedition in the fall of 2011. Steve, Colin, and David are all working to get on board with Alex who says…”Let’s go!”  If you draw a line between Everest and Makalu,  Pethangtse is half way along the line. If you make an equilateral triangle, Baruntse is at the apex of the triangle. It’s climbed more frequently but is about 500 meters higher and somewhat more challenging with some tough ice climbs above 7000 meters. Himalayan keeners unite!
