Baruntse Expedition 7129m - Grade 3C

View Of Baruntse

Baruntse a spectacular and straightforward 7000m peak

Background
Baruntse provides a good progression and an ideal objective for those who have previously climbed to around 6000m. Situated close to Makalu it is remote and at the centre of three glacier valleys, the Imja, the Hunku and Barun. It is objectively safe and offers a tremendously rewarding climb among the world’s highest peaks. Summit day includes spectacular views of Lhotse, Everest and Makalu.

The expedition will approach Baruntse via one of two options depending on the political situation and local logistics.

OPTION 1 - From the Makalu side via the Barun National Park, famous for its flora and fauna, after a spectacular flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar. The route on the mountain is via the East Col and South East Ridge which is not technically demanding and is on the whole a straightforward snow and ice climb with a final ice wall at around 7000m that will be climbed on fixed ropes to ease the ascent.

OPTION 2 - Via Lukla, the Mera La and Hinku valley as if going to Mera Peak, we would exit via the Ambulapcha Pass past Island Peak and then down the main Everest trail.

Level of support
The team will be led by an experienced Adventure Peaks Leader. We have established a good infrastructure and employ a regular and strong team of loyal Sherpa staff. They are supported by an equally professional team of cooks, with excellent facilities and hygiene, creating Base Camp facilities that are very comfortable, allowing you to relax and build up strength before ascending higher.
