The Peace of the Dawn !!
Sunrise touch on the Frey Peak in Kangchenzongha area in Sikkim Himalayas, India.
The peak was name after George Frey, a Swiss climber, who successfully achieved the first climb of this peak in October, 51 with historic Tenzing Norgay as one of the team members, but slipped along 70 degree ice-face fully covered with fresh snow while daring the descent despite having no technical tools like ropes or crampons and repeated advices from Tenzing for waiting till condition improved....unfortunately, Frey rolled, vanished into the the lap of the God of Peace and the peak was named after him....it is the only peak in entire Himalayas to be named after any Swiss climber....
This is a tribute to the great man !!
