Pumori Expedition
The Mount Pumori Base camp can be reached from Kathmandu - Lukla flight; and then trekking via Namche Bazaar, Thangboche - Pheriche and Lobuche. Mount Pumori is (7145m.) High and ascent starts at (5,300m) which are beside a beautiful small lake from here you can get a beautiful sight of Mt. Everest and Kalapthar at (5545m.)For many mountaineers Pumori is the peak to check their technical skills and their feelings of climbing Himalayas in Nepal to prepare for (8000m) peaks in Nepal for the future climbing. Anyone who has made the trip to Everest either as a climber or trekker will remember Pumori`s distinctive shape. Named by George Leigh Mallory, "Pumori" apparently means "Unmarried Daughter" in the Sherpa language. Used as a training peak for past Everest teams, many different companies now offer this peak as a guided climb, and there may be as many as 20 Pumori expeditions per climbing season.
Pumori is the most popular mountain for those who whish to climb 7000m peaks in the Himalayas of Nepal. For Pumori expedition, the Base camp will be set up at 5300m. We climb through the glaciers for approx. 4 hours and reach 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 reach camp two 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 from big seracs hanging on the shoulder above. 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 summit.
This might be the dream of the almost climbers to put their feet on the Everest once before they die. Hence, we have used this expedition as a training peak for past Everest teams. We hope, this expedition can really fulfill your dream of reaching on the top of the Everest in your next effort if you trust once. This climb requires solid experience on climbing as well as physical fitness.
