Here's Joseph Rock's picture taken from the Doker La pass looking down the Tibetan side (ie to the west). The pass marks the border between Yunnan and Tibet, and is part of the famous Kawakarpo Kora that circuits the holy mountain of Kawakarpo (Meili Xueshan). I did the kora in 2012 with my two sons, one of whom can be seen in the picture doing the steep descent.

I like your blog very much, so you might be interested in reading my new book, Fruits of Eden: David Fairchild and America's Plant Hunters. It has a long section on Rock. Book is now available on Amazon.
