Tajikistan is simply my default for riddles, as is Vatican for Marzulli...
... spontaneously i thought of the country once feared for its Shining Path. Instead there appears to be a shining new road. If I'm right I may have visited that little mountain lake 25 years ago. But I might be totally wrong .
It is in a terrible state...
Nobody other seems to be interested, but in spite of this I do not think that this summit (5165 m GPS) is such a bad place...
Was the lake that you visited named by a number?
Cheers, Alberto.

The numeric lake is the one behind the flag, Laguna 69, now destination of a very popular tourist package. That is why I was asking about it.
I didn't know of & didn't go to Lake 69 then.
Looking at the road on Google Maps/Street View i realize it's only shining in the bright sun but otherwise isn't in shiny condition.
I am looking forward to a whole great series of serious panos!
After the two ascents I had lost nearly completely my voice due to the amount of dust that I had eaten. I am still waiting to recuperate it fully...
Cheers, Alberto.
Cheers, Hans-Jörg
Cheers Alberto.
But worst for clouds was my Alpamayo experience. Due to the weird weather conditions you will ner see, for example, a panoramic version of this incredible object: http://bit.ly/2NLdoru
Here it is early morning, and you see the clouds already attacking the pyramid from its left side...
