A different journey
I read this last Sunday in the Lucknow edition of the Hindustan Times, and thought that it may interest others here. Two people who cannot see, and another two who can neither speak nor hear, have climbed the trekking peak Stok Kangri (6153m., 20187 ft.) in a recent expedition to that mountain in Ladakh. The full article is available at Yahoo India News, http://in.news.yahoo.com/070901/32/6k7qt.html
(While the climb being reported is, obviously, admirable, the article itself suffers from the aggressive language which is often found in writings on mountaineering, and also makes a rather way off reference to "the neighbouring Everest.") Raghu. |
