Annapruna IV Expedition (7525m.)


Among all the Annapurnas, the Annapurna IV is considered relatively an easier to climb. The normal route to reach the summit is led straight forward through Manang. There are only two hours walking from Base Camp to reach the bottom of the Mt Annapurna IV. About 60 to 70 degree steep slope climbing on a fixed rope of approximate 500m. leads Camp I. Further up we need 1000m. fixe rope climbing to reach Camp II, along the ridge line there is little widespread steep climbing. From Camp II to Camp III, it is relatively easy climbing than the others. Since this zigzag climbing in this part still required 1400-1500m. fixe rope to be set. Normally the fixe ropes are not necessary for climbing from camp III to the summit. There is possible danger of avalanches between Camp I and Camp II.
