Shishapangma 8012m. Expedition
Autumn/Spring
Joint Shisapangma Expedition Fixed Depature
September 02, 2012 / April 08, 2013
Mt. Shishapangm (8012m.) is one of the beautiful mountain in
Tibet, which lies in its autonomous region. Only very few people in the world
have an idea about the Shishapangma before Chinese opened Tibet to the western
summiteers in 1978 A.D. The Tibetans regard it as the holy mountain. It is the
youngest among fourteen mountains above 8000m that lies in high Himalayan
ranges.
Shishapangm Climbing High Camps/Route:
The North West normal route to Shishapangma takes us up easy angled snow slopes
up to 35 degrees with one steeper section. The necessary lines will be fixed
and placed on the steeper or crevassed sections. Following our acclimatization
in Zhangmu and Nyalam, we will arrive at base camp 5000m ready to do our final
preparations and acclimatization walks. Yaks transport our expedition gear from
Base camp to ABC at 5,400m. Three further camps will be place en-route.
Camp 1 - 6,730m. – After 6-7 hours walk we reach in camp 2 through crossing many
snow slopes by fixing ropes in the places of crevassed.
Camp 2 - 7,045m. – After 5-6 hours we reach camp 3 through steep ascent leading
to very gentle ground below the North West ridge.
Camp 3 - 7,400m. – From Camp 3, it takes 9-12 hours to reach on the summit. The
situation of the groups/climbers’ progress and the condition of their physical
fitness and the favorable condition of the weather depends the climbing ahead.
Some times the extra additional days are also required for acclimatization at
different places until climbers succeeds the summit. If the climber succeeds
the mountaineering early than the scheduled tenure they may leave the base camp
before the prescribed time as well.

The types of accommodation you prefer in Kathmandu and during the trek to Shishapangma base camp will make a difference to the overall cost (Budget to 5 star accommodations).
