Nangpai Gosum

Nangpai Gosum rises to 7350 meters in the Mahalangur Himal range, presenting vertical rock faces and glaciated slopes between Nepal and China.

The first ascent of the mountain occurred in 1986 when four Japanese mountaineers reached the summit through a challenging expedition route.

The peak's alternative name, Pasang Lhamu Chuli, commemorates the first Nepalese woman who reached Mount Everest's summit and perished during descent.

Climbing permits from the Nepalese government require fees of 400 USD in spring, 200 USD in autumn, and 100 USD during winter and summer seasons.

In 2009, Swiss climbers Simon and Samuel Anthamatten with Michael Lerjen completed the first south wall ascent, naming their route Hook or Crook.
