Nothing to do with the SMC map set, but there are plenty of contours on this one...
Centred on: Nº27 58.965 E86º 53.904

There's one about 3 km away, on the Tibetan side: GCP7JV - it's a possible FTF, if you want to have a go at it.

I bet that is a cache worth going for, I think it is more suited for the Decisive Twins though? _________________ Let me know if I say anything that offends you

Gee I'm glad I'm not trying to generate contours for that area, I'd need a faster PC or six!! |

Allen Fyffe, great Aberdeen climber and sometime denizen of Glenmore was sitting in a pub near the Dorset coast sipping a whisky and smoking one of his evil small cigars after a day on the local limestone sea-cliffs. The resident young rockhounds approached the wee man, determined to get an admission that the climbing in their area was true hard stuff.
"So what do you think of limestone after granite then, Jock?" they asked.
Allen pulled the rank cigar out of his mouth, narrowed his eyes and said:
"It's shite," and put the cigar back in its slot.
Much muttering and sounds of disapprobation. Then:
"So you know a lot about limestone do you, Jock?"
Allen took a drink and a drag and stubbed out the cigar. Through the rising pall of smoke from the ash tray he replied.
"Done it twice before. It was shite both times."
"Just twice?? And where was that, then?"
Allen stood up to leave and as he went through the pub door, replied over his shoulder:
"The first time was the Eiger; the second Everest." _________________ In the service of a Queen |
