Pumori Expedition (7145m.)

This technically challenging expedition requires climbers to be physically well in condition and having previous climbing experience. Pumori is the most popular mountain for those who whish to climb 7000m peaks in the Himalayas. Climbing Pumori requires a moderate technical climb on ice and snow. Normally, we set up three camps above the base camp in its normal route, South East Ridge. Base camp will be set up at 5300m. We climb through the glaciers for approx. 4 hours and set up Camp 1 at 5700m. From Camp 1, we climb 480m. on the face with 40-60 degrees slope and pass through a snow wall to set camp 2 at 6200m. on a narrow ridge. From camp 2, we climb approx. 450m. through ice with 30-60 degrees slopes passing through ice walls and crevasses, this section is prone to avalanches. Camp 3 will be set up at an altitude of 6480m. on the ridge . Passing through crevasses, we climb up to Pumori cliff and then to the summi. For many mountaineers Pumori is the peak to check their technical skills to set their future venture for 8000 meters pea in the Himalayas.
