Shishapangma - 8046m.
|
Country: Tibet |
Description |
|
Indeed, it is Emerging out of the earth-brown Tibetan
plateau a solitary snow goddess rearing its not-so-ugly
head out to be admired. It was first climbed by H. Ching
and Nine Climbers in 1664. This 'exquisite apparition'
is located in central Himalaya and lies totally within
Tibet. To the east lies Mount Molamenchen to the west
Mount Xifeng and Mount Nandengri and to the northwest
Mount Kangbochen.
Shishapangma, "the range above the grassy plain" was
first climbed by the Chinese in 1964.
There are three distinct climbing routes
on the Southwest face with several other logical possibilities
on the West Ridge and East face. Our route picks up from
Nyalam, 33km from the Nepal / Tibet border, up to the
Chinese base camp at an altitude of about 5000-5400m.
The trek to BC takes about three to five days via the
Nyanang Phu Chu valley.
