	Mount Manaslu Expedition (8163m) AUTUMN DEPARTURE: 29th August - 27th Oct 2009

Manaslu (8163m) have summated in 1956 by a Japanese expedition team. Its name comes from the Sanskrit word manasa, meaning "intelligence" or " soul". Just as the British considered Everest their mountain. Manaslu has always been a Japanese mountain. HW Tillman and Jimmy Roberts photographed Manaslu during a trek in 1950. But the first real survey of the peak was made by a Japanese expedition in 1952. A Japanese team made the first serious attempt on the peak from the Budhi Gandaki valley in 1953. When another team followed in 1954, the villagers of Samagaon told them the first team had been responsible for an avalanche that destroyed a monastery and refused to let the 1954 expedition. The expedition set off to climb Ganesh Himal instead. Despite a large donation for the rebuilding of the monastery, subsequent Japanese expeditions, including the one that made the first ascent in 1956, took place in an atmosphere of animosity and mistrust. The second successful Japanese expedition was in 1971. There was a South Korean attempt in 1971 and in April 1972 an avalanche that killed five climbers and 10 Sherpas ended the second made the fourth ascent of Manaslu as a member of a Tyrolean expedition that climbed from the Marshyangdi valley in 1972.

The Climb

There will be three camps will set above base camp before summiting the peak of Manaslu. We follow a cautious acclimatization schedule at base camp before taking first trip to Manaslu glacier. The ascent begins right after we step on to Manaslu glacier. The route here will be heavily crevassed and fix the rope over the cautious sections in bamboo marker wands. We then reach to the camp I which lies on a protected shoulder at the head of Manaslu glacier.

There will be fixed ropes required on most of the route from Camp I to Camp II. Camp II located at the top of the serac section of the climb on a flat spot. Even though it is located in the flat spot safe of danger this site can receive heavy snow accumulation. This is the most technical section of the Manaslu climb. The route now continuously up through the upper glacier approaching Camp III. Camp III located on a flat saddle that lies just below the col where you’ll experience strong winds here.

The climb from Camp III to Camp IV continues up the glacier weaving through the serac with some steep sections of ice and snow where fixed ropes required.

Once you make Camp IV then you’ll approach summit. The route to summit tiered plateaus before reaching at the final Pyramid slope. The summit is reached with an exposed technical traverse for around less than 100 meters in linear distance and will fixed rope.
