    Yes- totally agree that this should not be termed alpenglow. Similarly I am totally for mountains/places such as "Everest" be referred to as Qomolongma or Sagarmatha, K2 back to Chogoli and so on.Why should the Western names dominate over names of places that have existed way before Westerners step foot on them. If NZ\'s Mt Cook can be reverted to Mt Aoraki and Mt Egmond to Mt Taranaki, why couldn\'t we pay similar respect to the people who live their lives and pay homage to these mountains?
