t. Makalu (8463m.) is the fifth highest mountain in the world and it is located just 14 miles east of Mt. Everest. Though the peak appears isolated, its size alone is impressive. Its structure is as a perfect pyramid with four sharp ridges, makes this mountain all the more spectacular.
Mt. Makalu first mapped and photographed from the Tibet side by a British Everest expedition in 1921. Although, the peak had been studied by several Everest parties. The first successful summit was not held until the conquer of Everest like so many other giants in the Everest region. Makalu is considered a technical mountain for climbing, which can be justified as only five of its first sixteen attempts were successful. Mt. Makalu West Face offers challenging climbing on this route with mixed hanging ice fall, ice - rock wall with 50 to 60 degrees steep and 70 to 75 degree’s elevation’s rock pillar near the summit.
