Bouldering in the High Himalayas ...


John in Manang, Nepal


 



Bouldering in Manang, Nepal

(the first n last accent by John, as the boulder was blown up after a few days to help in the construction of the local school. An awesome boulder problem destroyed for a cause. 
Just another piece of rock for the locals but a sad sight for any climber. 


TNT I'm Dynamite. Watch me Explode
( the boulders getting blown up for the construction of a local school)


John and me (Yelamber) hoping the scripts on the rocks were not about gods or prayers.
A fun boulder !
