Mt. Kanchenjunga Expedition |
|
|
Kanchanjunga is the third highest mountain in the world and sits astride the
Nepal/Sikkim border. It was first climbed by G. Band, Evans & J. Brown in 1955.
In keeping with its name "five treasure houses of the great snows" the
Kanchenjunga Himal is a grand collection of shapely spires. It is unique in as
much as it is buttressed north and south as well as east and west by mountains
of equal stature. This multi-topped massif comprises of four summits. Main
Summit, Middle Summit, South Summit & Yalung Kang or West Summit, each one
measuring over eight thousand meters.
Way back in 1848/49 a great British botanists. J.D. Hooker, made two commendable
trips to make an almost complete circuit of the Kanchenjunga range.He came
within twenty two kms of the peak itself, but it was only in 1955, that a
British expedition finally made its summit. There are four different routes to
the mountain peak with both its south and east side providing opportunities for
new routes. The east flank of the South Summit is believed to be by far the most
difficult face route. |
