Pisang Peak - Nepal (Manang Valley)
|
Pisang Peak (6091m) has great
scope for exploration. The western flank of the
mountain, which is guarded by a hanging glacier,
offers considerable challenge. However access to the
western end of the ridge is more problematic yes it
is guarded by huge rock slabs. The first ascent on Pisang was made in 1955 by a German Expedition. The
same Expedition then went on to make an ascent on
Chulu east. From above Hungre the peak looks much
more interesting. It looks more like a curved ridge,
with the face above Pisang being the truncated
southern end on the valley. The route through the
upper Pisang valley leads through sparse woods and
pastures to a Kharka, which provide a good Base-camp
site. The high trail here, which reaches upper
Pisang (3300m) though longer, is panoramic. It
offers truly splendid views of the Annapurna group
including Tilicho Peak, Annapurna II and IV,
Ghangapurna and the Glacier Dome. Pisang is indeed a
"sightseeing peak." |
