Had a good nap. About to start making wonton soup for family dinner.
I plan to rewatch this #documentary after cooking. It was the 1st documentary I'd watched about high altitude #mountaineering. I first saw it in 1990, at a friend's place - he was an avid mountaineer. After hearing stories from one of my clients about her past big mountaineering experiences yesterday, I wanted to rewatch this amazing film.
I highly recommend viewing this old #DocFilm if you're interested in learning more about mountaineering & the pioneers of high altitude summit climbs.
The Hard Way - #Annapurna South Face (1970)
It took them 2 months to reach the summit. 1 day to get back down to base camp.

I've been enjoying #SolarAsh a lot on #switch. I just beat the Rust Dragger, and I have all the suits so far. The #worldbuilding and exploration are amazing, and the puzzles are just challenging enough to be engaging and fun but not frustrating.

In other news, #Annapurna is back on the #GCN #membersonly channel on #youtube.
The most beautiful and lovely video they did and it was the last of GCN+ :(
One from the vaults.
Annapurna Base Camp, around 2013. The youngest was five, and made it up there under his own steam (a feat which was mentioned in the Kathmandu Post).
Highlight of the trek was watching the kids skip down the inclines, crushing the dreams of adults coming up the other way.
Second-best part was the 'joyful' attitude of the first-born, demonstrated beautifully on the left of the photo.
Mount Fishtail (6,993 m) is a sacred holy peak, known in the local language as Machapuchhre, located in the Annapurna Himalayas.
I hope the ex- #Annapurna free-range geniuses find the working conditions of their dreams.
Sometimes you just have to vote with your collective feet.

#Annapurna 's mass quitting came pretty out of the blue for me. Is there any article out there what outlines some background?
The Indie Videogames space is a flaming trash fire right now.
Imagine how bad the internal business culture must be to have the ~Entire Freaking company just up and Quit~
"The entire staff of beloved game publisher Annapurna Interactive has reportedly resigned / The staff reportedly tried to spin out the company into an independent entity, but negotiations broke down." - The Verge

Annapurna Panorama (press L and F11 for best view) by Wim van de Meerendonk, back home!
I've been guiding a group in Nepal at the turn of the year, and was absent here for a while. For those who follow: have a good year, full of interesting meetings!
I shot this during the trip, on the 2nd day of 2024. Asian-looking tourists were watching and photographing sunrise at Sarangkot.

@by_tor I've not been so gutted about something #media related for so long or ever really.
Just watched Hank and Si ride #Annapurna .
It's gorgeous. The amount of times I quoted or used Hank's videos with his dad to promote #ebikes and their benefits for all, beyond the actual riding itself. And so many other things.
It litterally changed our lives. Changed how we ride, even changed my career path.
#GCN plus will be missed in our house.
Hilft nix, muss der #Messner jetzt noch mal rauf auf die #Annapurna .
