KUSUM KANGURU |
Region: Everest |
Grade: Alpine |
Regarded
as technically very challenging on all possible
routes, Kusum Kanguru is an impressive rock and ice
peak, which forms the border between the Dudhkosi in
the south and Hinku Valley to the north. Its name
originating in Sherpa language means the Three
Snow-White Gods. This climb is suggested only for
participants who have enough alpine mountaineering
experience.
North
Ridge
The North Ridge is approached from Monjo on the
trail to Namche Bazaar. From base camp ascend steep
grass and screed and finally a ramp leading to the
ridge proper.
South-East Ridge
The approach to the South East Face is from the
Hinku valley side. From Lukla the base camp can be
reached in 5 days. The ascent route to the main
summit is through the South East Face. With a base
camp at 4360m, two or three high camps are required
to complete the climb.
