the fish-tailed one (satisshroff, freiburg) your eyes never tire of watching the different moods of the fish-tailed one in pokhara. at dawn, noon and dusk. this majestic peak, this sacred mountainof the gurung folk, who live below it and revere this towering peak.  no foreign boots are allowed to trample this path, and climb to the peak. climbers have respected this wish of the gurung folk. but the khumbu sherpas, who are lured by dollars, offer incense sticks and tormas, to please, bribe and pacify the gods. tourism dictates and the locals follow. enabling global climbers to trudge over sacred mountains. no, these moneyed people don't worship the mountains, they worship their egos. climbing is a conversation piece: look I climbed everest, it's on youtube and facebook. i made it to the top of the world. ICH-ICH-ICH. I did it. others who weren't so lucky, will turn up in a moraine, years later as stiff corpses.
