Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[wobbly]

Staying in asia.

Name this peak or location.

[GregR]

Dunno, so I'll guess you're looking at Cho Oyu

[wobbly]

Right country but a much lower peak than Cho Oyu (and the location is lower still. )

[GregR]

Hmmmm, much lower peak eh?? That discounts the 5 biggest mountains in the world, so I'm guessing I'm up Ship Creek.
NFI.

[wobbly]

Actually where i'm standing is much better known than the peak. Oh and rule out any mountain over 6500 m.

[johnw]

Without further clues, no idea

[wobbly]

It's not on the Everest trek but thousands of foreigners pass this spot every year.

[wobbly]

another 2 pics from the same spot

[GregR]

Ama Dablam base camp

[wobbly]

Much closer to Annapurna than Ama Dablam.

[GregR]

Surely not Poon Hill??

[ribuck]

I think you might be on Khopra Ridge on the path that leads towards Kayer Lake.

[wobbly]

I'm on the opposite side of the Annapuna's to Poon Hill and Kayer Lake.

[GregR]

Would that be near Tilicho Lake??

[wobbly]

Tilicho lake is much closer but many more people pass through this spot than would visit Tilicho lake.

[GregR]

would it be Thorang La Pass

[wobbly]

And we have a winner.

I am at Thorong La Pass (highest point of the Annapurna circuit) and looking at Thorong Peak (in the first pic).

Over to you Greg.

Indeed. Google was the winner. A couple of the standard pictures from the web were almost identical. I'll post as soon as resize a shot to fit.

[GregR]

OK next up is (who would have thought!!) back in Nepal. Where was I standing

[GregR]

HINTS: You don't have to walk to this location but that would be bizarre!

[johnw]

HINTS: You don't have to walk to this location but that would be bizarre!

Namche Bazaar?

[GregR]

HINTS: You don't have to walk to this location but that would be bizarre!

Namche Bazaar?

Yes,and No. Specifically, where am I standing John.

I turned around and took this picture in the opposite direction.

[johnw]

At the helipad?

[GregR]

At the helipad?

Can Oath I was.

Over to Johnw yet again..

pS: I've run out of photos- don't let me win again!!

[johnw]

Over to North America:

Overlord Glacier from the Decker Loop trail on Blackcomb Mountain, with Overlord Mountain obscured under cloud -
Garibaldi Provincial Park via Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

[johnw]

The focal destination of this hike is a small tarn, not the spectacular glacier ahead.

[johnw]

To help narrow it down, I'm in Canada. The loop trail I'm on has the same name as the tarn it visits.
The main trail to get here takes the name of the glacier ahead.

[johnw]

The glacier and adjacent peak (under cloud) may have been named by someone in high authority, perhaps the almighty?
I was just happy to see them from well above the deck...

[Last]

overseer?

[GregR]

surely not Mt Sir Donald????
