Dhaulagiri - 8167m. |
Country: Nepal |
Description |
| The Dhaulagiri Himal lies south of the
Tibet/Nepal border and the culminating high point at its
eastern end is Dhaulagiri l.
The seventh highest mountain in the world. Dhaulagiri
towers in solitary splendor. This magnificent peak rises
as a giant shoulder of shining ice and snow. It gets its
name from the Sanskrit word "Dhavala" which means 'white'
and 'giri' which means mountain. It was first climbed
by K. Diemberger, P. Diener, M. Dorji, E. Forrer, A. Schelbert
& N. Dorji in 1960.
This mountain was first sighted by the British surveyors
in India in the early 1800s but reminded virtually unknown
until a Swiss aerial survey in 1949. This White Mountain
was first climbed in 1960 by the Swiss following the Northeast
ridge. Dhaulagiri l is buttressed by five ridges and even
up until the early 1980's only the Northeast ridge had
been successfully climbed. Dhaulagiri is considered the
most interesting peak among the eight thousanders. Today
there are more than six different routes established with
variations, and the possibility of more.
