Baruntse - 7129m.
|
Country: Nepal |
Description |
|
Baruntse
is the most accessible 7000 meter peak in the region
besides having a normal route of ascent which can
be guided. The first to make its summit were the already
famous Hillay and Jim McFarlane. The ascent route
is through the southern ridge overhanging the famous
West pass, this is in act the traditional route opened
by Hillary and Shipton in 1952. The regular approach
begins at Lukla and takes you across the Hongu valley,
one of the most fertile region in Nepal, passing northward
through a beautiful alpine environment. The walk passes
through delightful Sherpa country and provides for
excellent acclimatization. The Baruntse base camp
is at an altitude of around 5400m and sits near the
pristine lakes below Amphu Labtsa pass. The route
then follows a long ridge leading to the summit. An
ascent on Baruntse is an adventure for climbers wishing
to meet a true Nepalese 7000 meter.
