Mt. Manaslu Expedition |
|
|
Manaslu lies in the Kali Gandaki valley of the Nepal Himalayas. This mountain
was previously known as Kutang, 'tang' being the Tibetan word for flat place,
thereby describing the mountain's general summit. It was then renamed Manaslu
which comes from the Sanskrit word "Manasa" meaning "intellect" or "soul". It
was first climbed by T.Imanishi & G. Norbu in 1956.
Many consider the three peaks of Manaslu as Japanese peaks as they were the
first to reach its summit in 1956. There exist half a dozen different routes on
Manaslu today. The south face of this "mountain of intellect" is arguably the
toughest in climbing history.
Our trip starts at Sama Gaon, where incidentally Makalu is called Kambung- after
a local god. It was here in this same village back in 1954 that the second
Japanese expedition met with bitter resistance from the locals. They blamed the
presence of the heathen foreigners for the avalanches and pestilence on the
valley. They felt that Japanese had insulted the gods dwelling in the mountains
thereby angering them into creating such adverse conditions. |
