| My Father and Wife were too beat to undertake the climb to the top of Little Annapurna, so I had to go it alone. It was a treacherous ordeal, frought with trials and tribulations...I mean trails and tributaries. Actually it was quite a climb. Just before the top I had to traverse a snowfield for about 30 yards. It wasn't really that hard, but I was ill-equipped wearing just sandals and without poles. |

| Though you can't see it from here the top has a couple of acres of relatively flat land. The view was amazing. I need to put together a little video of it, but alas, youtube would make it look bad anyway. You will just have to wait for the DVD. Out soon!
