"I confess to once scoffing at the idea of climbing Cho Oyu. You know; how much fun could it be to climb the world’s "easiest" 8000 meter peak. Well, how wrong was I. I have just returned from the best expedition ever and will never be so blasé about this mountain again; The team, the route the location and the never tiring Sherpa’s made this expedition simply awesome!"

Mark Allen descending to the Saas Valley, Pennine Alps in Switzerland, in the shadow of the Mischabel Group.

"The Täschhorn, Dom, Lenzspitze and Nadelhorn taunt further exploration being the section guarded by no mechanical advantages. I recently was told Mischabel was an old Saas word for "pitchfork" a remnant of older german dialect to describe the quartet of rock peaks cutting the sky seen from the valley floor. Wonderful to be in the same frame of mind as the original Saas observers. Their very words even today prevail as the highest constant._ - Mark Allen

Altitude Pakistan reports there was no (7,276m / 23,871 ft) Mustagh Tower summit for Felix Berg & Matthias König. They climbed MA's SE Ridge to 6000m in a short weather window last week. They are now back in Skardu.

Photo: Bivouacking on SE Ridge during their summit attempt.

Deemed "impregnable" in 1941 by Vittorio Sella, Mustagh's firrst ascent was by a British expedition, consisting of John Hartog, Joe Brown, Tom Patey and Ian McNaught-Davis. From the Chagaran Glacier on the west side of the peak they reached the summit via the Northwest Ridge on July 6, 1956 in a race with a French team that summitted 5 days later.
