Siguniang Mountain and Ba Leng Shan

This is the pass from Chengdu to the village of Ba Leng Shan. I am standing at 15000 feeet and am frozen solid. I can not even feel my feet. I recommend that you never take this trip in November! These are the mountains leading to the Tibetan plateau. There is a U-shaped glacial valley behind me and you can see that I am above the clouds in the valley. The peaks in the background are 19000 feet high.Dinner in Ba Leng Shan. This is it, no vegatables and no starch just goat on the grill.
There was no heat in the hotel! The hotel was at 12000 feet and there was ice in the toilet. The temperature never got above 32 degrees. I slept with all my clothes on and was still cold.
Pool anyone?
The people were Tibetan and this is a picture of one of the kids. Very Cute!
