This is Heinrich Harrer he is the amazing mountaineer that made it all the way to Lhasa in Tibet from a P.O.W camp (prisonar of war). Heinrich when he was alot younger had dreamed of being invited on an expedition, nobody chose him to go so he signed up for a ski video. After starting the video he got a call asking if he could go on a expedition to the Himalaya. He broke the contract with the video and went on the expedition, and that was the ignition to start all of the events that befell him.

This is a picture from the movie 7 years in tebet. Im going to wear mountaineering cloths because well thats what he does,what he lives for, and a white scarf simbolizing the tibeten culture that he learns.

The Buddha said 'Salvation doesn't come from the sight of me. It demands strenuous effort and practise. So work hard and seek your own salvation constantly.' I am not your son. And I've never thought of you as my father. You've been much too informal to me for that. Do you ever think about him? 

 He is always there. When I crossed Tibet he was with me. When I came to Lhasa he was with me. When I sit beside you he is there with me. I can't even imagine how to picture the world without him in it.

THOUGHTS 

 This book is one of the best books ive read it doesnt show how great rockclimingis, the book shows how rockclimbing is. The good the bad, the book shows it. Heinrich Harrer did many things for Tibet but tibet also did good things for him. it is cool that he made it all the way from his P.O.W camp to Lhasa it is a treck that i would not want to face.

This is the new palace where the dali lama lives. This building is all man made no machine, stones from miles away were brought here just to finish the massive palace. The mountains in the background are just some of the mountains Heinrich Harrer and Peter Aufschnaiter had to climb to get to this forbbiden city.
