Dan Mazur's Kangchenjunga Spring 2002

Dispatch#1 March 1st, 2002. In March of 2002, we are attempting the 7200 meter Mount Nojin Kansa, a moderate peak near Lhasa Tibet, which has never had a western ascent. In April-June of 2002, we are attempting Kangchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world, located in Eastern Nepal.

We are in Kathmandu today. The weather is fantastic. We flew over Everest yesterday. The mountain is looking very black and rocky. We take that as a good sign, because that means things are dry up there. Sometimes it can be very white and snowy. Kathmandu is quiet and peaceful and beautiful today. Everyone is very friendly.
