Looking at the wall of shadows-a new miniature watercolour
I've just come back from Nepal and have spent a lot of time looking at a massive wall of shadows. Jannu's north face.

Getting to know the face
It,s an impressive wall. The rock on the main wall is paler than the dark rock lower down.
...more
Snowfields
In at the deep end. There are some deep cornices of snow in the central corner/ramp.
...more
Scary slopes.
Its hard to imagine anyone being able to scale these slopes and survive. The lack of oxygen at altitude, the deep snow with the risk of avalanche, the cold.
...more
Back to gneiss
Lower down the mountain, below the snow line, on the glacial moraine vegetation starts to establish itself.
...more
Lots of boulders
The glacial moraine, is made up of loose rock debris that eventually stabilise and the plants can then take hold.
