 Report of the Chairman for 2003 - 2004

They were surprised that their base camp at 3800m was surrounded by the tents of over one hundred local people hunting for caterpillar fungus - a valuable aphrodisiac: they must also have been hunting for food, as most of the climbers' rations disappeared during their first foray on the hill.
