"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Minya KonkaIn 2003 I trekked across the Bu Chu La and then onto the monastery beneath the West side of the mountain. Absolutely love this part of the world. Really unspoilt and very beautiful.

Re: Minya KonkaYes it's beautiful. It was my first trek in Tibet/Sichuan and I loved it. We didn't visit the monastery but passed near it.
What time of year did you go? What was the weather like? And do you know if most of the peaks have been climbed by now?

Re: Minya KonkaI went in May. Weather was excellent although a lot of powder snow (a bit like Scotland). All the major peaks in this area have been climbed now except Gongga East as far as I know. I spent June in the Chola area during which time it rained at some point most days. Also a beautiful area if you ever go back.

minya konka areaIt is interesting to hear the comments from others who have traveled in this obscure corner of the world. When I was there with friends in 2005 we nearly completed a first ascent of the North face of Reddomaine (you referred to it as "Leduo Manyin"). When you were there in 2002 how high onto the upper glacier did you travel? We were under the impression that not many people had traveled there before us. Cheers!
