Dhaulagiri;
name is derivative from
Sanskrit "Dhavala"
means "White" and
Giri is "Mountain"
The Mountain was displayed
by British surveyors in
India in the early 1800s and
was mapped by one of the
secret Indian evaluator.
After four more expeditions
had failed, eight members of
a Swiss expedition conquered
the summit in 1960. The
Swiss expeditor first
ascended Dhaulagiri in 1960.
The climb followed a
roundabout route around the
mountain from Tukuche, over
Dhampus pass as French
Col, to approach the summit
from the North-East Col.
Tragedy struck in 1969 when
an avalanche killed seven
members of a US expedition
on the East Dhaulagiri
Glacier. The Japanese in
1970s, the Americans in 1973
and the Italians in 1976
summited. |
