Shishapangma Expedition
Shishapangm is one of the very
lovely mountain of Tibet, only a very few people
in the world had idea about the Shishapangma
before the Chinese opened Tibet to the western
summiteers in 1978. The Tibetans regard it as
the very holy mountain. It is the youngest mountain
among the peaks situated above the height of
8000m, and there are only fourteen mountains
above in the 8000m high Himalayan ranges.
The North West normal route to
Shishapangma takes us up easy angled snow slopes
up to 35 degrees with one steeper section. The
necessary lines will be fixed and placed on
the steeper or crevassed sections. Following
our acclimatization in Zhangmu & Nyalam,
we will arrive at the base camp (5000m) to make
ready our final preparations and acclimatization
walks. Yaks transport our expedition gear from
Base camp 5000m, to ABC at 5,400m. Three further
camps will be place en-route.
Camp 1 - 6,730m
- After 6-7 hours walk we reach in camp 2 through
crossing many snowy slopes by fixing ropes in
the places of crevassed.
Camp 2 - 7,045m - After
5-6 hours we reach camp 3 via steep ascent leading
to very gentle ground below the northwest ridge.
Camp 3 - 7,400m - From
Camp 3, it takes 9-12 hours to reach on the
summit. The situation of the groups/climbers'
progress and the condition of the physical fitness;
and also the favorable condition of the weather
depends the climbing ahead.
Some times the extra additional
days are also required for acclimatization at
different places until climbers succeeds the
summit. If the climber succeeds the mountaineering
early than the scheduled tenure they may leave
the base camp before the prescribed time as
well.
Climbing Sherpa guide:
We facilitate highly professional, well trained
and qualified climbing Sherpas for your expeditions.
If you take Sherpas along with you on the expedition,
they are very useful in your each and every
step of support, which makes your climbing easier
to restore your strained energy; and it gives
you vigorous strength for your next day's climbing.
Most of the groups, who have gone with the Sherpa
guides on the expedition, are found to be succeeded
as per our past experiences. So we suggest you
to operate your expeditions along with the Sherpa
guides.
