Friends of the Northern Kashmir, Hello
!
Mamostong Story !
A small newsletter for a big news: you will be able to follow the
Mamoston Story on Balnkonthemap. What what the hell is that you will
tell me! well, it's the live coverage of the french expedition up Mamostong,
standing at 7516m. And? The Mamostong, the "thousand devils mountain",
is a mythical mountain for several reasons. From a historical point
of view, merchants on the famed Silk Road looked up its frozen flank,
on the terrible portion up the Saser La.
The area is still closed to visitors, because of its location close
to the Indo-Chinese conflict. Except for Paulo
Grobel, who managed to get the doors open to this mountain paradise,
where summits like Aqtash (7016m), the Chong Kumdan group and teh Saser
Kangri, constitute a gigantic range of ice and rocks, mysterious and
unknown.
The ascents Are rare on these dangerous mountains: well done M. Grobel
for being the head of this great idea!
you can follow the expedition in this link
(only in French for instant, sorry) :
After the 19th, Paulo will call me every 4 days to let me know his
progress on the final assault.... Let's wish him a safe trip for this
uncommon ascent on this magnificent mountain!
