Grant and Johnny do the Annapurna Circuit, Nepal, 2010

 

This is Grant and Johnny at the highest point we reached at the summit of Thorung La Pass at 5416 metres or 17,769 feet with our guide Arjun (standing) and our porter Rajendra (seated).  This is 1200 metres higher than the top of Mont Blanc, and we had no problems with altitude sickness, fatigue or soreness.  A triumph!!!
