Introduction:
Chulu East (6,584 m.) is situated high above the Manang
valley with breathtaking views across to the Annapurnas
II, III and IV, Gangapurna, Glacier Dome, Dhaulagiri,
Tilicho Peak and Manaslu. The climb is combined with
the classic trek around the Annapurna massif, ascending
the Marshyangdi valley and crossing the Thorong La,
before descending the Kali Gandaki valley to Pokhara.
The climb is technically straightforward and you should
be familiar with the use of your equipment, crampons,
harness, ice axe, tying knots and handling climbing
ropes. Most of the climbing will be involved walking
roped together, including the glacial crossings. You
should be very fit and have good experience of climbing.
