Chulu West Peak - Nepal (Manang Valley)
|
Chulu West
(6610 m): 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.
