Dear Friends this website is a humble tribute from my side for alpinism.

All possible care has been taken in the reporting of the facts, however there will be mistakes and I will be glad if they are pointed out. It will expedite the corrections. Currently efforts are underway to present another website for 2001 which will have work of four years from 1997 onwards.

Your feed back is of great importance as I seek that thing from you for my moral support.

PS (the site is under construction and it will regularly be updated with photos which are missing currently).

Sincerely

Asem Mustafa
