Himalayan Trekking expedition by a friend

Just got this from Bharata

I am back from an expedition to Auden's Col in Himalayas. This was the
highest and the toughest climb I have ever done in my life!

What's special about this trek ? I believe that what these guys did is close to the limits of what can be done without specialised equipment (they walked long stretches on ice, for instance). If you are a trekking freak, do yourself a favour : read his story. Very well written, and very nice pictures as well. Way to go, Bharata !
