Another visit from the baby blue bug, and with it a interview from Ms Elizabeth Hawley.
Ms Hawley's work seams to never end as a endless stream of climbers come
and share there aspirations with her and in so doing there small part to
help her fill in the datum that is the incredible " Himalayan Database".
the Himalayan Database is a compilation of records for all expeditions
that have climbed in the Nepalese Himalaya. Elizabeth has a no nonsense
and get down to business approach mixed with a dry acerbic whit. Is this
the foreign correspondent prototype? Simply put, without Elizabeth's
hard work I would have no clue where to start looking for "real"
climbing in Nepal.
Amazing! Met her in Kathmandu in 1988, and she was already a legend.
