Askole - big, big mountains

Hi everyone,
Just a quick update. I have photos and video, but there is no way they will upload with this connection. Yesterday I took off from Shigar (next to Skardu) and jumped over a high pass into the valley which ends in the Biafo and Baltoro glacier. The flight was rather short, but if you look at the track-log in google earth you'll see the sort of mountains I was dealing with. I camped in a meadow at 4200m, and today returned via a different route. This meteorology in this area is quite difficult because of the influence of so many enormous glaciers and 8000m mountains. The wind is difficult to understand, and the conditions are often quite rough. The scenery is out of this world: it is so amazing to be able to experience it in this way. Photos might come some way to explaining the sensation. You just feel so, so small.
Anyway. More at a later date....

Chao.
Demian.
