Chulu West |
Ascent of Chulu West and Chulu
Central are best made from a base camp in a
small valley north of Manang situated off the
main trail to Thorong La pass 5416m. Indeed some
of the best views of this peak can be had from
that pass.
North-West Ridge: Go beyond the hut following
the yak pastures and walk up a ridge which leads
into a hidden valley where it is possible to
find a good site for base camp. From this camp ,
ascend steep scree slopes to a col 4,900/16,076
feet), on a subsidiary ridge that leads down
from the main ridge. To the north of the col
ascend snow slope for 200 meters to the base of
a band of rock at an altitude of 5,100 meters
and the site for a possible high camp.
Climb the rock band with some difficulty to the
north-west shoulder of Chulu west 5450
meters/17,880 feets, where another camp can be
established or alter-native a camp can be placed
on a snow plateau above 5,530 meters/18,143
feets. On the first ascent and several
subsequent ascents rope was fixed on the rock
band. From the plateau continue up the
progressively narrowing ridge to the summit
6,250 meters /20,505 feets. Descend by the some
route. |
