Mt. Makalu Expedition Mountaineering in a
professional and committed manner. Mt. Makalu (8,463m / 27,767ft)
(The Great Black One) was first climbed by the French in 1955 and is
the world's 5th highest mountain at 8,463m. Situated between Everest
and Kanchanjunga , on the Nepali-Tibetan border. Our expedition
we'll trek from Tumlingtar Flight , just above the Arun River to
Makalu Base Camp at approximately 5100 meters. We'll ascend via the
Northwest Ridge establishing 4 high camps on the mountain. Our
strong team will fix ropes as required. Depending on our fitness,
we'll be moving up and down the mountain several times,
acclimatizing and stocking the higher camps. This expedition is
fully supported. Gary Guller will manage the expedition and has
considerable experience in the Makalu-Barun National Park . Makalu
is a very beautiful but extremely challenging, and potentially
dangerous mountain. Barely more than 200 mountaineers have stood on
her summit Makalu should be treated with the utmost respect.
The team must work together as a team and stay committed, period
Lying in northeast region of Nepal , Makalu peak is am impressive
mass of red granite and close neighbor of Mt Everest . The French
team first climbed Makalu in 1955 led by Jean Franco and we climbed
ourselves in 1974. There are several routes on the mountain as many
as five, but we choose one of the safest and more accessible routes.
We start from Tumlingtar by flight above the Arun river then towards
the beautiful Barun valley, which is most infrequently visited
valley and finally setting up Makalu Base Camp at an altitude of
4,825m, we commence the climb and upon completion of the expedition
we retrace the route via the same route and take panoramic flight to
Katmandu . |
