The Climb

This difficult mountain forms an impressive ridge on the eastern end of the Lumding Himal. Rising south-west of Namche Bazaar above the Bhote Khosi, the northern flank forms an impressive barrier. The southern flank is more aloof. It is hidden at the end of the Lumding Drangka, a high and remote valley. The Lumding valley is rarely visited by trekkers or expeditions. The routes on the South Face are committing and difficult, although the climbing is more traditional. The routes on the North Face are particularly difficult.
