[edit] Wrong mountains??

I am pretty sure the mountains in the picture are the Annapurnas!!

[edit] Wrong mountains indeed

So am I, so I have removed it. But it can still be accessed via the Manaslu history tag. By clicking on it to enlarge it, its caption can be seen, which correctly states that it shows Annapurna IV, Annapurna II and Lamjung. By all means upload it to the Pokhara and/or Annapurna pages.

The virtual view from the Pokhara area, which proves the above claim, can be seen [here]. See directions 010-040. Viewfinder 06:17, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Korean Expeditions

The team leader of the '71 expedition was Kim Chong-sup, not Kim Ho-sup. Regarding the '72 Korean attempt on the northeast, I have other references that state that 15 total were killed in the avalanche. Can anyone varify with a legit source? --Bentonia School 03:09, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The AAJ 1972 has the leader being Kim Ho-sup. Of course they could be in error. What is your reference for Kim Chong-sup?

Regarding 1972, AAJ 1973 confirms that "fifteen members of a South Korean expedition were killed when on April 10 avalanches overwhelmed their Camp III at 21,300 feet. The dead were four Koreans including the leader, Kim Ho Sup, one Japanese and ten Sherpas." I'll edit the article accordingly. -- Spireguy 18:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

My source for Kim Chong-sup is the Corea Alpine Club and Explorers Web. I have noted however that the Explorers Web article is basically a lift from the Corea Apline Club article. I would assume that Corea Alpine Club would have a better reference for the anglicization of Korean names, but perhaps not. It's worth looking more closely into. --Bentonia School 13:05, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Hm, I just noticed that the Corea Alpine Club article has been changed (and with pretty bad English). The Explorers Web article is in tact. However, I will try to find the name of the leader as it's written in Korean. That will dispell any errors. --Bentonia School 13:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for trying to track this down -- Spireguy 17:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
