Great page John! Thanks for adding one of unknown peaks of your amazing country. Yengisogat glacier is 42km long, wow, that is really impressive! I hope that one day I'll come and visit Xinjiang.
Thank you very much for logging on my page and nicely offered the right length of Yengisogat glacier and I will put it right. You are welcomed to pay a visit in Xinjiang and you could choose any mountains here that open to the climbers around the world.
You could brake the Overview in smaller paragraphs, it's very hard to read. Also you could move the route info into a new route page and add some more photos
Thank you very much for your vote and the suggestions. I have split up the overview bloc in to three seperate ones: Overview, climbing history and difficulty of climbing Crown.
Before I put up the crown page I have consulted with the membership of SP about it as I have never climbed the peak myself, and some members felt that thus I should abstain from putting up a route page, so I have just made an extra chapter in the main page with some route information.
Some more pictures will be put up in the near future.
Thanks Diego for the vote! I am working to have more unique photo's on the page soon. Well, you know how it is on Summitpost, some people just do not want you to put on route pages if you have not climbed it yourself. And I never was far above advanced base camp. Anyhow I am directly trying to contact one of the men of the first ascent team for more detailed information and than will discuss and work it out here with my friends in the climbing scene here in Urumqi. So in due time a route description page will appear, but I want it to be very detailed and accurate: On something as difficult as the one known route on Crown, it is all to easy to get killed, even if you have accurate information.
Thanks a lot for voting my picture. I live in food of Tianshan Mountains --the Mt. Bogda. You are welcome to pay a visit to my home town -- Urumqi,Xinjiang, China.
Thanks a lot for your comments on my Crown Peak page. I grown up the food of Tian Shan Mountain,Uruqmi, Xinjiang. I was used to be mountain tour guide at Xinjiang Mountaineering Association for over 10 years (1983-1993) and I have been guided Italy K2 Yak expedition in 1983 for 4 monthes. I am the secretary in chief of Xinjiang Ecology Society. We will offer a whole set of exploratory ,mountountaineering & scientific research expeditions onto the Burog lakes & Zangber Kangri 2006 in the northern Tibet/Qinghai plateau.
If you are interested in that or more information you could contact me at shenzhuang58@hotmail.com and MSN as well or my skype:shenzhuang58.
