Expedition – Baruntse

Baruntse
Altitude 7,129m/23,389ft » Duration 35 Days
Post Monsoon 2010

 

On the South   East Ridge of Baruntse (www2), 120 kbI'm off on another expedition to Nepal.  This time the objective is Baruntse and I'll be working for Jagged Globe.   Baruntse itself is 7129m and lies to the west of the Khumbu Region.

This should be a stunner of a trip – we'll be starting our walk in from the Barun National Park – and out via the Amphu Labste to Lukla.

 

 I really enjoy a treking loop that takes you over some serious alpine passes and out into the Khumbu!  Climbing a 7129m Peak along the way is the icing on the cake.

Just a quick teaser

Here are some images of one of the peaks I am investigating for an expedition in April 2010.  Just under 7000m and as far as I can tell – it hasn't been climbed.  More info to follow soon but if you're keen to come or simply want to find out a bit more about the trip ….

Looking at the West face – the intended route is on the skyline ridge.
