Imagine
if no one could get to Everest or K2 - what would happen
to mountaineering and trekking in Nepal or Pakistan?
What would happen to the people who live around those
peaks?
Afghanistan faces this situation today. Its highest
peak, Noshaq (7492m), is virtually inaccessible because
the route to base camp is blocked by landmines.
Those of us who venture into the mountains are aware of
and respect the objective dangers posed by the
landscape, but manmade dangers leftover from war and
conflict have no place in the mountain realm.
Please take a moment to read about the
Return to Noshaq
campaign, which is raising funds to remove the landmines
from Noshaq and reopen this peak to the world.
We need your help now to succeed. We ask mountaineers
and mountain lovers to join forces to promote the
conservation of the world's mountains through peace and
cooperation.
Please support the Return to Noshaq campaign by making a
financial contribution, forwarding this email to your
mailing list, and adding a link

website.
