CHULU WEST PEAK (6610m) |
|
CHULU
WEST (6610m.)
The highest trekking peak in Annapurna
Region
Chulu west (6610m/21752ft) is the higher
of the two Chulus and has a higher
recorded altitude by at least two
expeditions that have ascended it. This
peak was first climbed in 1952 by a
Japanese expedition. Ascents to this
peak are best made from a base camp in a
small valley north of Manang, situated
off the mail trail to the Thorong-La.
From here one gets to see some of the
best views of the peaks. There is
considerable debate in regard to the
name and location of the Chulu peak, for
those who have climbed this area, it is
a known facts that several other summit
close by, which are actually part of the
Chulu massive, are not indicated on
maps. Therefore it is hard to
distinguish between the two Chulus,
however, for the sake of charity; four
summits can be included in the Chulu
group. Two each for west and East,
Though Chulu west could also possibly be
called Chulu central. Although there
really is not any technical difficulty
on this section, in soft snow however,
progress could be slow and difficult, as
the slopes are prone to "Avalanche" in
certain conditions. |
