good point
so thanx to this info & also ibs number 85 re cnpk
we do at least have the following afcn tripoint data
afcntj
peak kokrash kol
aka povalo shveikovski
5698m
coords not given
but given elsewhere as approx nlat 37d14m x elong 74d53m
afcnpk
unnamed peak
5630m
coords of approx nlat 37d03m x elong 74d36m given in afcn text
but conflicting elong of approx 74d34m is given in cnpk text
oops
& thus the 2 treaties could even be referring to 2 different
unnamed peaks
also for photo research
we have the name of the afcn boundary range as mustagh
which yields plenty of pix of peaks involving 5 countries in all
tho i cant positively identify any of these pix as showing afcn
let alone the afcn tripoint peaks
so i will spare you all such links of breathtaking but probably
irrelevant mountains
indeed the afcn tripoint peaks are relative dwarves & nobodies
among such mustagh giants as k2
& others of what are billed as the worlds most vertical mountains
