[1998 April]
During the height gain exercise for the advanced mountaineering course at NIM Uttarkashi, we attemped Draupadi ki Danda peak[Himalayas]. We could not make it to the summit due very heavy snow conditions! [We had heavy snow fall on previous days!].
We had a tough time negotiating through snow covered crevasses and the slops that had almost 6 feet snow!
This snap was taken at a height of approximately 19000 feet when we decided to return to our advanced base camp!
Though the place was fully snow covered it gets very hot in sun! We need to wear dark & fully covered goggles to prevent 'snow blindness'.
