Kusum
Kangru (20887 feet /
6,367meters) |
Kusum Kangru is one of the
first "real" mountains and
is considered the most
difficult trekking peak. It
has at least 5 major steep
and razor-sharp ridges and
as many faces and this peak
known as 6th highest peak
among trekking peak in
Nepal. Since the climbing is
technically difficult,
requiring a high degree of
experience and commitment
with serious climbing
skills. While many of
Nepal's peaks are good for
well-led groups with limited
experience but this mountain
is not. While there are a
number of different routes
to the summit, the upper
third of the mountain tends
to be 70 to 80 degree ice,
snow and rock. Many try, few
make it. Kusum Kangru
repelled four attempts
before a Japanese party made
the first ascent. A number
of different routes have
subsequently been made;
among them the E-face none
of these could be considered
easy. |
