Mt. Pumori is the most popular and beautiful mountain for those who wish to climb over 7000 meter peak in the Himalayas of Nepal. Pumori stands aloof and proud, as if aware of its intense effect on the valley below. From the smaller summit belonging to Kala Patter to the sparkling slopes of Mt. Pumori there appears to be a path that leads to the very sky.
Pumori, this incredible pyramid of snow and rocks, is indeed the pride of the Solukhumbu district. Pumori is generally considered to be technically challenging and requires climbers to be experienced as well as in faultless physical condition. For one such climber, this mountain could become the most rewarding challenger in the Himalaya.
For the actual climb, the Asian Hiking Team will use the classical route, which was first opened by a German -Swiss team. Pumori was first climbed on May 17, 1962, by Gerhard Lenser on a German-Swiss expedition. Two Czechs (Leopold Sulovský and Zdenk Michalec) climbed a new route on the south face in the spring of 1996. Asian Hiking Team’s guide climbed the enormous southeast slope till the junction with the northeast ridge. The Pumori Expedition route requires the least amount of technically: but is exposed to objective dangers, an avalanche prone section and a section exposed to a serious fall.
Pumori expedition Base camp will be set up at about, 5300 m. We climbed through the glaciers for approximately 4 hours and reached Camp 1 at 5700 m.
From Camp I, we climb 480 m on the face with 40 to 60 degrees slope and pass through a snow wall to reach camp 2 at 6200 meter on a narrow ridge.
From Camp II, we climb approximately 450 meters through ice with 30-60 degrees slopes, passing through ice walls and crevasses. This section is prone to avalanches from big sears hanging on the shoulder above.
Camp III will be set up at an altitude of 6480 meters on the ridge. Passing through crevasses, we climb up to Pumori cliff and then to the summit.
There are very fewer climbers planning Pumori Expedition. It is also not possible to organize for single because of technical.
