- Parchamo (6273m)
During the post-monsoon season of 2009 Adventure Consultants are organising a trip that will ascend three of Nepal’s most popular trekking peaks; Parchamo, Lobuche East and Island Peak.
This trip offers moderately technical climbing at times, with stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks of Everest, Cho Oyu, Nuptse, Lhotse, Makalu, Ama Dablam and many, many more, while exploring five separate valleys.
An ascent of these three peaks is a fantastic introduction to Himalayan climbing. It is also a great opportunity to climb a multitude of classic 6000m peaks, in a relatively short time, in one of the most spectacular settings in the world. As far as training for future expeditions, you also get to experience three summit days over a relatively short time, and hone your skills and experience towards attempting bigger objectives in the future.
Island Peak, referred to by the local Sherpa people as Imja Tse – an ‘island in a glacial sea’, is an exciting and popular trekking peak and ideal starting point for the Three Peak experience. The view from the summit of Nuptse and Lhotse’s south faces is awe-inspiring.
Stepping from Island Peak to Lobuche East is an ideal progression. Lobuche East is a little more technical with more fixed rope and slightly more exposure. The high camp is dramatic with exceptional views across towards Ama Dablam, especially at sunset when the peaks turn pink as the sun sets into Tibet. We climb a subsidiary peak of Lobuche East.
Our third peak, Mt Parchamo, is located deep in the Himalayas, near the Tesi Lapche La (Pass) to the east of Namche Bazar. The climb itself is relatively straightforward, and like the other two peaks, requires ice-axe, crampons and the use of fixed rope.
This trip is very do-able for anyone in excellent physical shape with a desire for high adventure.
