Baruntse is one of
the beautiful 7,000m peaks in Nepal. It
is also one of the few peaks of this
height with a high rate of success of
ascent on normal route. The approach to
the mountain follows the Mera Peak trek
up to Mera La and then to Baruntse base
camp. (5,250m).
Normally, we establish two camps above
the base camp in the approach of the
mountain. The camp I is set up just
below East Col. at an altitude of 5,700m
and the camp II is on the South – East
Ridge at a height of 6,420m. From the
camp I, we cross East Col. and descend
down through steep slopes. We then
traverse a large snow plateau and move
towards the bottom of the South – East
Ridge. We then move through steeping
slopes of the ridge to a small col, the
site of the camp II at the height of
6,420m.
From camp II, we climb steep snow slopes
(45 degrees) and frequently pass a
series of short steep steps of ice and
snow until we reach the west side of the
ridge. Then we past through short
sections of rock scrambling which leads
to a marked cleft and ice cliff and
getting over these leads to the easy and
broader slopes and finally, to 7,129m,
the summit. The descend is by the same
route.
