Mountain & Meditation (Pics)----11----Basic Course of Mountaineering at N I M in March--April 1985

The Basic Course of Mountaineering was completed by two of us out of four from 'Nehru Institute of Mountaineering' Uttarkashi, Uttranchal in March-April 1985. It was a 28 days prog. which covered all types of climbing techniques like Rock Climbing, Snow Climbing, River Crossing, Crevasse Crossing  and Ice Craft including camping manners and trekking in High Altitude. In this course we gained around 16000 ft height from sea level in the last leg of the course. It was a very thrilling as well as very interesting course.
