Lep pozdrav.

CLIMBING : MHE INTERNATIONAL CLIMBING CAMP 2004.
MHE successfully organized an International Himalayan Training cum Climbing camp on the 7065 Mts high Satopanth Peak in the Garhwal Himalayas in the year 2002 & 2003. The camp was a great success and most of the climbers who attended the camp had their first experience of High Altitude climbing and some of them even summitted the peak.
The camp was organised by Col. N. Kumar (Bull) a member of the UIAA Expeditions Committee, co leader of 1965 Indian Everest Expedition, and Leader of the First Ascent of the North Eastern Spur of Kanchenjunga to name a few.
