Trailblazer Nepal Mountaineering Guide

From the Trailblazer Guides series.

Nepal offers the climber a selection of peaks ranging in height and difficulty to cater for both beginners and the most accomplished mountaineers. First-timers to Nepal will, however, quickly feel the difference from their usual stomping grounds in the sheer scale of the mountains, the altitude and the often ferocious weather, all magnified (once off the main trekking routes) by a keen sense of remoteness. As if this wasn't enough to inspire awe and elation in its visitors, the country's considerable natural wonders are balanced by a rich cultural life and an extraordinarily friendly people that have made Nepal a top climbing destination for decades.

The majority of the peaks in this guide are between 5500m (18,045ft) and 6500m (21,326ft). The technically easy peaks, such as Chuli Far East and Pisang, are ideal for those who are trekkers at heart but have secretly dreamed of standing on a Himalayan summit. Others, such as Singu Chuli and Hiun Chuli, offer technical difficulties that demand the very best of any accomplished mountaineer. Moving up the scale, Baruntse (7129m), Pumori (7145m), Annapurna IV (7525m) and the king of them all, Everest (8850m), take the climber into a new dimension as far as altitude is concerned, combined with the continued technical challenge.
