Dhaulagiri Base Camp / French Col /
Hidden Valley
Getting off the glacier above the base camp often requires the use
of ropes. Once over the steep moraine walls we reach gentler, less
strenuous country. After a breathless climb to the top of French Col
(5360m,) the views of Hidden Valley open out. The broad valley is
reminiscent of Tibet and Ladakh and so are the temperatures (at
least -20ºC at night). |
