Mardi Himal Peak Climbing
Mardi
Himal is considered to be an ideal introduction to mountaineering
in the high Himalaya, particularly if you have limited
time available. No previous experience of high
altitudes
is necessary, as every precaution will be taken to ensure
gradual and thorough acclimatization
during the trek
to the mountain.
Although Mardi Himal
is the shortest and probably the easiest of our expeditions
in Nepal, to maximize both your enjoyment and your chances
of success, you need. A major benefit of Mardi Himal
is the ability to climb it in a round trip of a little
over 2 weeks. It therefore makes a visit to the Himalaya
a real possibility for those who hitherto have not been
able to find the time to join a longer expedition.This
peak is located in the east of the Modi Khola, across
the valley from Hiunchuli. It is separated from Machhapuchhre
ridge by a col. and usual route of ascent reaches
this
col (about 5,200m. /17,060 ft.) and reaches the summit
via a route on its east flank. Although the
mountain
rises above the entrance to the Annapurna sanctuary
it is not often visited. The trek reaches and
then follows
the Mardi Khola for 2 days before turning and climbing
the ridge line for 3 more days before
reaching base
camp around 4,100 m. /13,451 ft.
The climb has problems with route finding
and effort but little technical difficulty: the couloirs
leading to the col on the East Face can present an avalanche
danger with fresh snow. The climb begins by heading
steeply towards the col on the connecting ridge between
Mardi Himal and Machhapuchhre. High camp is usually
placed just below the final steep (45 degrees) couloirs
leading to the col (about 4,650 m. /15,256 ft.) From
high camp, climb to the col and turn west, ascending
steep snow slopes to the summit. Descend the same route.
