Mt. Dhaulagiri Expedition |
|
|
The Dhaulagiri Himal lies south of the Tibet/Nepal border and the culminating
high point at its eastern end is Dhaulagiri l, the seventh highest mountain in
the world which towers in solitary splendor. This magnificent peak rises as a
giant shoulder of shining ice and snow. It got its name from the Sanskrit word "Dhavala"
which means 'white' and 'giri' which means mountain. It was first climbed by K.
Diemberger, P. Diener, M. Dorji, E. Forrer, A. Schelbert & N. Dorji in 1960.
This mountain was first sighted by the British surveyors in India in the early
1800s but remained virtually unknown until a Swiss aerial survey in 1949. This
White Mountain was first climbed in 1960 by the Swiss following the Northeast
ridge. Dhaulagiri l is buttressed by five ridges and even up until the early
1980's only the Northeast ridge had been successfully climbed. Dhaulagiri is
considered the most interesting peak among the eight thousanders'. |
