We spent the day in these Kazakh yurts in the mountains near Sayram Lake.
Me at Everest base camp
After 10 hours of walking uphill with only a few tea breaks (hey, I'm English!) I made it to the top of Emeishan and was greeted by this amazing statue of Buddha on Elephants. I reached the summit just before sunset but due to cloud cover I was not to see the beautiful sunset I had hoped for. I am told there is only a 1 in 3 chance of having an unobscured view. The climb was well worth the effort despite the poor visability.
This friendly group of Chinese students invited me to join them in climbing Huashan. They were a great bunch of people and made the experience a lot of fun.
Moon Hill and beyond, Yangshuo
After spending the night in a hostel at the top of Emeishan I made it across to the East Peak standing at 3099m which was covered in clouds. My mate Binzy has his head in the clouds permanently!
Doin it hard on the Great Wall!
