Dhaulagiri (8,167 m.)
Entry & Exit: Beni
Duration: 47 days |
Dhaulagiri is one of the most popular 8000m. peaks for climbing in Nepal. Normally, four camps will be set up for the climbing. Advance base camp will be set up at 5,300m. which is used for depositing the stuff and not as camping due to avalanche danger. Camp I will be set up at 5,900m. on the Col. which requires climbing towards the east from the Advance Base Camp. Camp II will be fixed at 6,400m. which will require stretches of steep climbing. From Camp II, we climb towards west side with steep climbing and arrive Camp III at 7,200m. We then climb towards the East Ridge. When we get over the ridge, we will have to be very careful climbing over the ridge and probably, we will have to face strong wind while climbing and arrive at Camp IV, 7,500m. The climbing of this section is considered the most difficult in the expedition. Then we will push the summit and return to Camp III if everything goes well as planned. If we could not approach the summit from Camp IV due to bad weather or other reasons, we will have to fix bivouac at 7,900m. and next day try to push to the summit. |
