Pasang Lhamu Chuli is one of the
recently opened new peaks for foreign expedition.
The peak is about 5 km west – south of Cho
Oyu and raises to the height of 7,350m. The peak
was first climbed by an expedition team from West
Ridge in 1996 and the sirdar was Ang Phurba Sherpa
(Climbing guide and Director of Ang Rita Trek &
Expedition). The route of south or east ridge is
more difficult and has remained still unclimbed.
We will set up the Base Camp at 5,400m
on the central moraine of Nampa La Glacier and the
Advance Base Camp at 5,600m near the foot of West
Ridge Nampa La. Camp I will be set up at 6,250m
just below the second Col. The climbing from Camp
I will require difficult work of pitching of fixed
ropes on knife-edged ridge which will be the most
difficult part of the expedition. Camp II will be
set up at 7,100m on the snow hump just behind Triangular
Rock Peak. Then we will traverse to right side to
avoid rock obstacles. After a few pitches climbing
up steep snow ridge we will traverse about 300m
to the right and get to the last summit ridge. From
here, we will climb up 3 more pitches to reach the
real summit which is in fact, an ice pyramid not
having enough space to stand on it. The summit provides
unexpected close view of Everest and other high
peaks.
