- actually, there is also a (separate and distinct) himalayan club. no
- doubt the h.c. and the h.m.i. have "institutional links", but i think
- they are distinct entities. the club is the one which puts out a
- detailed and comprehensive newsletter (i think quarterly - each issue is
- about the size of a book). will see if i can get the address.
- regards.
