Panorama Photo

When, creating a first preview of this 360°, i discovered the bird navigating the sky adjacent to the Ama Dablam, I recalled the remark that Marco Polo wrote down about the Pamir:
Niuno uccello non vi vola, per l'alto luogo e freddo
No bird flies over there, because of the high spot and cold.
Here, at 4850 m, much more than the average of the Pamir, this theory is disproved, but the point is that here we are protected by very high mountains - around this little valley approximately 6500 m, which readily become 8848 and 8201 in the adjacent valleys, east and west respectively.
Apart from this distractor, the true subject of the panorama is of course the Cholatse, one of the most impressive peaks of the Khumbu, first climbed only in 1982 by a quartet featuring also old K2 glories like John Roskelley and Galen Rowell - photographer and author of "In the Throne Room of the Mountain Gods".
Moreover, if you own the masterpiece volume "Himalaya Alpine Style", by Andy Fanshawe and Stephen Venables, please hurry to the section "Cholatse" to have a look at an amazing photo featuring Ed Webster who "flies" on the W ridge of Cholatse, with the Gokyo lakes and the Rolwaling Himal in the background.
