SHISAPANGMA EXPEDITION |
|
Shishapangm is one of
the lovely mountain of Tibet, which lies
in its autonomous region. Only very few
people in the world have an idea about
the Shishapangma before Chinese opened
Tibet to the western summiters in 1978
A.D. It is regarded as the holy mountain
by the Tibetans. It is the youngest
among fourteen mountains above 8000m
that lies in high Himalayan ranges.
Route
The North West normal route to
Shishapangma takes us up easy angled
snow slopes up to 35 degrees with one
steeper section. The necessary lines
will be fixed and placed on the steeper
or crevassed sections. Following our
acclimatization in Zhangmu & Nyalam, we
will arrive at base camp 5000m ready to
do our final preparations and
acclimatization walks. Yaks transport
our expedition gear from Base camp to
ABC at 5,400m. Three further camps will
be place en-route.
Camp 1 - 6,730m – After 6-7 hours walk
we reach in camp 2 through crossing many
snow slopes by fixing ropes in the
places of crevassed.
Camp 2 - 7,045m – After 5-6 hours we
reach camp 3 through steep ascent
leading to very gentle ground below the
North West ridge.
C amp 3 - 7,400m – From Camp 3, it takes
9-12 hours to reach on the summit. The
situation of the groups/climbers'
progress and the condition of their
physical fitness and also the favorable
condition of the weather depends the
climbing ahead.
Some times the extra additional days are
also required for acclimatization at
different places until climbers succeeds
the summit. If the climber succeeds the
mountaineering early than the scheduled
tenure they may leave the base camp
before the prescribed time as well
