Shisapangma Expedition |
 Its Sanskrit name is "Gosainthan". Reinhold
Messner called it "an exquisite apparition".
Indeed, it is emerging out of the earth-brown
Tibetan plateau a solitary snow goddess rearing
its not-so-ugly head out to be admired. It was
first climbed by H. Ching and Nine Climbers in
1664.This 'exquisite apparition' is located in
central Himalaya and lies totally within Tibet .
To the east lies Mount Molamenchen to the west
Mount Xifeng and Mount Nandengri and to the
northwest Mount Kangbochen . Shishapabgma, "the
range above the grassy plain" was first climbed
by the Chinese in 1964.
There are three distinct climbing routes on the
Southwest face with several other logical
possibilities on the West Ridge and East
face.Our route picks up from Nyalam, 33km from
the Nepal / Tibet border, up to the Chinese base
camp at an altitude of about 5000-5400m. The
trek to BC takes about three to five days via
the Nyanang Phu Chu valley. |
