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.
