Pictures from an attempt to climb Mt. Nun (7135 m) in Zanskar, Ladakh, India
The lower part of the climb to camp 1 goes through the scree slope right above the base camp
Coming on top of the scree you see the crux of the route to camp 1 - the ice fall that leads up to the ice field

Decided to quit. Be back some other time.
Tired, beaten but in good spirits. The whiteout on the ice plateau is complete.
