Chulu West |
Chulu west (6610m/21752ft) is the higher of the two Chulus. This peak was first climbed in 1952 by a Japanese expedition. Ascents to this peak are best made from a base camp in a small valley north of Manang, situated off the mail trail to the Thorong-La. From here one gets to see some of the best views of the peak. There is considerable debate in regard to the name and location of the Chulu peak. For those who have climbed this area, it is known facts that several other summits close by, which are actually part of the Chulu massive but not, indicated on maps. Therefore it is hard to distinguish between the two Chulus, however, for the sake of charity; four summits can be included in the Chulu group. Two each for west and east, though Chulu west could also possibly be called Chulu central. Although there really is not any technical difficulty on this section, in soft snow however, progress could be slow and difficult. The slopes are prone to "Avalanche" in certain conditions.
