Ian rang a few minutes ago. Stood in the Air Dynasty office they have just managed to check out a possible landing/BC area by using Google Earth...!
Rapidly getting older by the day since becoming involved with all of this, later today, Ian Wall will be flying to Pokhara with the Chopper guys. Tomorrow, hopefully, they will fly into the BC area to mark the landing site, which, if Gooogle Earth is to be believed, is at approximately 4000m and three and a half kilometres from the base of the crag. (Base of the crag is Ian's description, I personally would call a 2.5 kilometre ridge leading to the summit of a 7555m mountain slightly more than a crag!)
Needless to say, they may, or may not be successful!
