Peak Fixed Departure - Nepal
|
 |
Island Peak:
also known as Imja Tse (6189m) was first climbed in 1953
in preparation for the ascent on Everest. This is a very
popular peak. Apart from being an enjoyable climb, it
has some of the most spectacular scenery of the Khumbu
region. The mainland forms a semi-circle of cliffs
that rise in the north to the rugged summits of Nuptse.
Lhotse, Lhotse middle peak and Lhotse Shar. To the east
lies Cho Polu and beyond this, the red granite Makalu.
To the south lies the Baruntse, Amphu and the lofty
Amadablam. The Amadablam looks like a giant sea-stack
guarding the entrance to the glacial bay Where Island
peak stands. Island peak's first route of ascent was the
south-east flank and south-west ridge. The usual base
camp site is between Imja Tse and moraine of Imja
glacier. In the event of heavy snowfall, this area has
proved to be prone to avalanche danger. The west face
also offers good route. |
