We follow our journey as it emerges
out of tranquil pastures and ascends the hidden Arun
River valley. Climbing and descending gradually,
taking us from villages at 457m to the Khongma Pass
at 3,090m, this trail gives us the best possible
form of acclimatization. Beyond Num there are no
villages. The track climbs all the way to Neghe
Kharka, crossing the Barun Khola flowing from Makalu.
The route to Sherpani Col (6,135m) involves a
sustained period at altitude with some steep slopes,
but rewards with powerful views of Makalu (8,463m)
to the north and the aptly named Island Peak
(6,160m) to the west. This is the realm of the
glaciers, surrounded by the unforgettable presence
of the world's mightiest mountains; and brooding
above the towering bulk of Everest itself.
A truly adventurous expedition to a remote and wild
region of the Great Himalayas, with full logistic
support. This is a journey that seeks a different
route, a fresh perspective, and a challenge.
The route from Makalu Base Camp to the Everest
region, which we follow, is over Sherpani Col - West
Col - Panch Pokhari - Amphu Lapcha. Basically all
these passes lie on the three main ridges of
Baruntse. The southeast ridge drops down to Sherpani
Col at 20,127 ft (6,135m); the south ridge has West
Col at 20,154 ft (6,143m), and the west ridge, which
ultimately joins Ama Dablam dips down to 19,193 ft
(5,850m) at Amphu Lapcha. Amphu Lapcha is probably
the most demanding phase with some exposed snow and
ice work. You will need plenty of rope and anchors,
as there are two long descents to be set up. This
can take a long time with porters! It could be 14
hours day crossing the first two Cols. Our guides
know how best to approach this problem and we would
suggest you leave it to them. You will need full
mountaineering equipment and your party will need to
be fit. |
