Chulu West
(6,419meter/21,059 feet with
Annapurna Circuit) |
Chulu West is situated in a
little valley, which is
north of Manang. This is one
of the Peaks can be seen
from the major trail Thorong
La. One should have a
technical idea to climb this
peak. North West Ridge is
summit way. While climbing
this peak, be prepared for
steep scree to col a 4,900
m. North of the col ascend
snow slopes for 200 meters
to a rock band at 5,100 m.
Climb this difficult rock
band to 5,450 m., cross on
to a snow plateau at 5,530m
and follow the progressively
narrowing ridge to the
summit (Chulu West). To
climb Chulu Central, cross
the snow plateau and then
traverse onto the Chulu
Glacier basin east of the
ridge. Ascend the broad
glacier slopes avoiding
serac obstacles. While not
technically difficult, this
area can be nasty in soft
snow and is prone to
avalanche under certain
conditions. Continue toward
the obvious Central summit
on steeping snow until it is
possible to gain the crest
of the summit ridge, which
may be corniced. This leads
directly to a small saddle
and the final 15-meter
pinnacle. |
