Kanchenjunga - 8586m. |
Country: Nepal |
Description |
| It was first climbed by G.Band, Evans &J.
Brown in 1955. In keeping with its name "five treasure houses
of the great snows" the Kanchenjunga Himal is a grand collection
of shapely spires. It is unique in as much as it is buttressed
north and south as well as east and west by mountains of
equal stature. This multi-topped massif comprises of four
summits. Main Summit, Middle Summit, South Summit &
Yalung Kang or West Summit, each one measuring over eight
thousand meters.
As way back s 1848/49 one of the greatest of British
botanists. J.D. Hooker, made two commendable trips to
make an almost complete circuit of the Kanchenjunga range.
The came within twenty two kms of the peak itself. But
it was only in 1955, more than a century later, that a
British expedition finally made its summit. There are
four different routes to the mountain peak with both its
south and east side providing opportunities for new routes.
It is believed that the east flank of the South Summit
is by far the most difficult face route.
