We are slogging it alpine style - No porters. We have a contact in Kibber whom we'll interview to get detailed information about the mountain - if it seems necessary we can also get a guide.
The reader can be assured that the only thing that will be posing any surprises for us aspiring summer mountaineers will be the altitude. We are ready to turn back at any point if altitude sickness hits. Also we keep an eye for weather conditions. We are very conscious of the risks the weather poses in the mountains and are prepared accordingly.
Pictures: Alternate possibilities for approaching Kibber and from there we'll have to see how to get to the peak itself.
