The view from the Nameless Fangs, a photo from Sagarmatha, East

Photographer's Note

The view back down from the Nameless Fangs (5800m) in the Gokyo valley, Khumbu, Eastern Nepal. This day turned into a bit of an epic, I went off on my own to climb the Fangs. Noone had been that way for weeks and there was no trail. I ran out of food and water towards the top and breaking trail through the snow to get back to camp was utterly exhausting. Luckily I made it back just before dusk otherwise it would have been a very cold and lonely night stuck outside on my own.

I like this shot very much. The desolation of clouds and rocks already sent chills down my spine before I read the story. I think you have imposed your will on this scene very well in colours and composition so that it tells the story on its own. Very successful!

A lovely fresh shot. The sky is magic, it seems to be in relief and the blue color... wonderful.

Another great Nepal shot.

I think I would have cropped just a bit off the top to eliminate the darker corners in the sky.

I assume you're going to give us a Travelogue and tie all these pictures together?
