Mt. Pumori (7,145m.) Expedition

Spring
Entry/Exit: Lukla (Khumbu Region)
Fixed Departure: 10 April 2009

This stunning peak is located on the upper Khumbu region of Nepal and its border of Nepal and Tibet. Mt. Pumori is generally considered to be technically challenging and requires climbers to be experienced as well as in faultless physical condition. The route follows the Southeast buttress before it traverses to the East Ridge for the remainder of the ascent. It is requiring excellent physical endurance; Mount Pumori offers sections of wild exposure, views of Mt. Lhotse and Mt. Everest, with technical difficulty worthy of any Himalayan alpinist. Pumori expedition Base camp will be set up at about 5300m.

People climb through the glaciers for approximately 4 hours and reach Camp 1 at 5700m. From Camp 1, we climb 480m. on the face with 40 to 60 degrees slope and pass through a snow wall to reach camp 2 at 6200m. on a narrow ridge. From camp 2, we climb approximately 450 meter through ice with 30-60 degrees slopes passing through ice walls and crevasses. This section is prone to avalanches from big seracs hanging on the shoulder above. Camp 3 will be set up at an altitude of 6, 480m. on the ridge. Passing through crevasses, we climb up to Pumori cliff and then to the summit. Pumori is a one of serious expedition peak designed only for experienced climbers. The trip starts from Lukla after flight from Kathmandu and reach to Pumori base camp toward Dudhkoshi River.
