Kusum Kangru is one of the
first "real" mountains, which
can be seen on the Jiri - Everest BC trek
is a complex mountain with 3 summits.
It has at least 5 major steep and razor-sharp
ridges and as many faces and this peak
known as 6 th highest peak among trekking
peak in Nepal. Its' name originating in
Sherpa language means the Three Snow-White
Gods. This climb is suggested only for
participants who have enough alpine mountaineering
experience.
Of all of the trekking peaks
in Nepal, this one has the reputation
for being the most difficult trekking
peak in the Everest region. The climbing
is technically difficult, requiring a
high degree of experience and commitment
with serious climbing skills. While many
of Nepal's peaks are good for well-led
groups with limited experience but this
mountain is not. While there are a number
of different routes to the summit, the
upper third of the mountain tends to be
70 to 80 degree ice, snow and rock. Many
try, few make it. Kusum Kangru repelled
four attempts before a Japanese party
made the first ascent. A number of different
routes have subsequently been made; among
them the E-face none of these could be
considered easy.
North Ridge:
The North Ridge is approached from Monjo
on the trail to Namche Bazaar. From base
camp ascend steep grass and screed and
finally a ramp leading to the ridge proper.
South-East Ridge:
The approach to the South East Face is
from the Hinku valley side. From Lukla
the base camp can be reached in 5 days.
The ascent route to the main summit is
through the South East Face. With a base
cam at 4360m, two or three high camps
are required to complete the climb.
