Mustagata Climb 2011

Summit Story Here

Mustagata is #43 on top left of this world's highest mountains photo taken by NASA.

Brian "Bugsy" and I will be attempting to scale Mustagata in July of this year, or, as Dave puts it, "where ya gonna puke this summer".  It will be our first climbing foray into the Himalaya.  Mustagata is a non technical peak at 24,757 feet that I intend to skin up and ski down.  Bugsy will be snowshoeing.  We are going independently using the basecamp support of SummitClimb, who is leading a guided service that we will likely be shadowing.  Below is a detailed link from SummitClimb outlining specifics about the mountain including route,(we are taking the "Tash" route) weather and some links to good pictures.
