Nangpai Gosum, Mountain summit in Solukhumbu, Nepal and China.
Description
Nangpai Gosum is a 7350-meter summit in the Mahalangur Himal range along the Nepal-China border. The peak displays steep rock faces and glaciated slopes across its entire structure.
History
The first ascent took place in 1986 when four Japanese climbers reached the summit via a challenging route. This early success demonstrated that lesser-known peaks in the region were attainable.
Culture
The peak's alternative name, Pasang Lhamu Chuli, honors the first Nepalese woman to reach Mount Everest's summit before she died during descent.
Practical
Climbers must obtain permits from the Nepalese government, with fees varying by season. An ascent requires high-altitude mountaineering experience and equipment suited for glaciated terrain.
Did you know?
In 2009, Swiss climbers completed the first south wall ascent via a route called Hook or Crook. This technically demanding climb revealed the peak still offered fresh challenges for expeditions.
