Ascent of Chulu West and Chulu Central
are best made from a base camp in a small valley north
of Manang situated off the main trail to Thorong La pass
5416m. Indeed some of the best views of this peak can be
had from that pass.
North-West Ridge: Go beyond the hut following the yak
pastures and walk up a ridge which leads into a hidden
valley where it is possible to find a good site for base
camp. From this camp , ascend steep scree slopes to a
col 4,900/16,076 feet), on a subsidiary ridge that leads
down from the main ridge. To the north of the col ascend
snow slope for 200 meters to the base of a band of rock
at an altitude of 5,100 meters and the site for a
possible high camp.
Climb the rock band with some difficulty to the
north-west shoulder of Chulu west 5450 meters/17,880
feets, where another camp can be established or
alter-native a camp can be placed on |
 |
|
|
a snow plateau above 5,530
meters/18,143 feets. On the first ascent and
several subsequent ascents rope was fixed on the rock
band. From the plateau continue up the progressively
narrowing ridge to the summit 6,250 meters /20,505 feets.
Descend by the some route. |
