I also thank the numerous colleagues both from the UK and from Peshawar University who were companions on many field campaigns, especially around Nanga Parbat. This contribution has been greatly improved by incisive reviews by Tom Argles and Phaedra Upton, although, of course, the author takes full responsibility for the views presented here. Finally, I thank Peter Treloar for inviting this review and for his patience while I put it together. Funding: Over the years this research has been variously supported by the UK’s Natural Environment Research Council and the Royal Society.
