Nodes in Sagarmatha Nationalpark

The Sagarmatha National Park (sagaramāthā rāṣṭriya nikuñja) is a protected area in the Himalayas of eastern Nepal that is dominated by Mount Everest. It encompasses an area of 443 square miles in the Solukhumbu District. In the north, it shares the international border with the Qomolangma National Nature Preserve of Tibet and extends to the Dudh Kosi river in the south. Adjacent to the east is the Makalu Barun National Park.

The park contains the upper catchment areas of the Dudh Kosi river, Bhotekoshi river basin and the Gokyo Lakes. It is largely composed of rugged terrain and gorges of the high Himalayas, including the world's highest peak Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest). Other peaks above 20,000 feet are Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Cholatse, Thamserku, Nuptse, Amadablam and Pumori.

High altitude climbing above Thame Theng in the Khubu region of Nepal. 1-4 pitches, grades 4+ to 7a. Stunning location with views of many major Himalayan peaks. Access via the trekking route from Lukla through Namche Bazaar to Thame.

Picture. It is a site located in the eastern part of Nepal in Thame village of Everest region elevating up to 3800m. In this rock climbing site, there are more than 17 different routes which are starting from 4c to 7c multi-pitch 200m height. The village in which this rock climbing site is located, Thame, is also famous as it is the birthplace legendary mountain climbers, Apa Sherpa, and Tenzing Norgay.

Partially bolted. The gully can be used as a walk-off from the lower routes.

Easy up the arête.

Easy, but long and exposed traverse.

Up the slab traversing right to the middle line of bolts. First anchor a few meters before the end of the slab up the route slightly right of the bolt line. One additional anchor only 5m off the ground, just after the traverse.

Beautiful vertical climbing.

Town on the way to Everest base camp. You reach it prior to getting to Namche Bazaar. About a days walk form Lukla airport. Wall is located five minutes from park entrance on the left. Can't miss it. You walk down the path and the stairs/slope it will be on the left. There are 3 short routes. All bolted all short. I think seven bolts and anchos max if I remember correctly. All could be extended to be over 35m long. When we were climbing an old lady tried to extort a 1000 rupees from us but we did not pay.

According to the army at the checkpoint in Monjo, you need permission from the military base in Namche Bazaar to climb here as it is a military area.

Sunny rock climbing at 4.000m!

Located in Kohanar/Konar there are a couple of more moderate routes than what you can find at the North Face crag near Phortse. 4 rock routes, one ice climb, and room for more! Fairly secluded from winds.

To the left of the Yes & No climbs, there is another climb. I have not done it, not too sure. Check it out. Climb it. Looks like it is as hard as Yes, or maybe a little harder. Left of the main wall

Little harder than "No," but maybe that was due to the altitude. Little thinner holds, funkier movements. Named "Yes" because the other one is named "No". 5 or 6 draws. Shares the anchor with "No"

Not sure of the true name, but when we were there after KCC ended, "No" was written in chalk at the base. Therefore we're calling it "No". Sorta awkward movement to some not so awkward movement, might be the altitude though. Left most route of the Kohanar Climbs.

Sorta awkward movement to some not so awkward movement, might be the altitude though.

Photo. A weird, finger crack that doesn't really require much jamming to climb. But also has good jams. It can be TR'd, but it is funky awkward and better to just climb it than go around to get to the anchor. Probably not the real name of the climb. Around the corner to the right from the main wall.

Around the corner from "Fun Crack Jam Snack" is a overhanging crack. Didn't climb it, bootied a cam on it, Conrad says it's fun. Up a ways to the right from Fun Crack Jam Snack. #.5-#3 cams or somewhere in there. Nuts would maybe help too.

The expansive area starts in Lukla and goes all the way to Everest Base Camp. A lifetime of boulders that get cleaner the higher you go.

Sectors: Machermo (on way to Gyokyo), Dingboche (on way to EBC - awesome but limited), and the EBC area.

Chalk is evident on numerous rocks in the area, but expect to clean the really good lines.

Cho Oyu (Nepali: चोयु; Tibetan: ཇོ་བོ་དབུ་ཡ) is the sixth-highest mountain in the world at 8,188 metres (26,864 ft) above sea level. Cho Oyu means "Turquoise Goddess" in Tibetan. The mountain is the westernmost major peak of the Khumbu sub-section of the Mahalangur Himalaya 20 km west of Mount Everest. The mountain stands on the China–Nepal border.

The Highest of the "treking peaks" note high altitude and basic ice climbing skills required 6476m.

More secluded than the more popular trekking/climbing peaks along the route to Everest base camp (e.g. Imja Tse/Island Peak) with scenery that is just as good if not better. Many villages with guest houses along the way but be prepared to be self sufficient (provide your own food & shelter) in the event that you arrive in a village and there is no room at a guest house. Having a local guide is recommended as the route (particularly the beginning) is not straightforward. Above Khare on the Mera La, crampons are necessary. During peak climbing season (Sept-Nov and Apr-May) there is likely a boot pack to follow all the way up the Mera La and to the summit. However, keep in mind that the altitude and mountain weather can always pose challenges to even the most experienced of climbers. Weather can be variable and crevasse danger exists above Mera high camp. Traveling in roped teams highly suggested above high camp.

Summit: 6476m

Down the hill from Everest, 6189m.

Island peak is viewable from Chhukung and there are signs pointing to the trail as you leave town. The peak can be approached easily through an obvious trail that crosses a series of rocky stream beds from south. When you initially see the peak from the southeast, you need to continue around it, keeping the peak to the north of you as you progress toward lake Imja Tse. This means keeping the peak to your left and base camp is near the latrines. There is an option for a high camp at ~17,500 which follows the trail (see south face description) to a higher plateau. An alpine start around 2am is reasonable, depending on fitness level and weather conditions. Typically, winds begin to get pretty fierce around 10am, which means that descent should be underway by then.

Trekking peak permit required

Summiting Requires Permit and NMA Certified Guide. You can trek in the region for free, but a summit requires you to hire a guide certified through the Nepal Mountaineering Association which varies in price seasonally and depending on company.

This is the largest town on the Everest trek. 3 (or more?) sport routes on the rocks above the city. They are easy to find. There are also a lot of possibilities for bouldering on scattered boulders and treks around.

Above Namche Bazaar. Further up and to the right of the Sunshine Lodge boulder.

Left Route. 3 bolts to a hand jam and larger crack. #2-3 cam would be helpful. No anchors. Walk off. Picture.

On the way to Sunshine lodge there is a boulder with a painted on Sunshine lodge sign. Its on the right side of the boulder. It has some chipped holds but looks great. Topo.

Boulder just before Namche helipad. Have fun squeezing and squirming.

Finish by grabbing the lip at the right block (when facing the boulder) 4m up, but avoid pulling yourself past the lip and topping out which would damage the lichen.

Slightly tricky to get established, and a nice little topout. Downclimb after climbing as there is a stone fence just above the top out.

Cholatse (also known as Jobo Lhaptshan) is a mountain in the Khumbu region of the Nepalese Himalaya. Cholatse is connected to Taboche (21,328 feet) by a long ridge. The Chola glacier descends off the east face. The north and east faces of Cholatse can be seen from Dughla, on the trail to Mount Everest base camp.

There is a lake just below this pass to the east, and in Tibetan 'cho' is lake, 'la' is pass, and 'tse' is peak so Cholatse means literally "lake pass peak".[2] Cholatse was first climbed via the southwest ridge on April 22, 1982 by Vern Clevenger, Galen Rowell, John Roskelley and Bill O'Connor. The north face was successfully scaled in 1984.

Boulders just after the village of Shomare (village after Pangboche) on the way to Everest base camp

Boulder outside Shomare, 75m from lodge. Good landing.

Start from chest height on sharp crimp and sloper crimp. Get established, then powerful move to 2 decent holds at head height. Continue up and topout (arete is on).

You can downclimb the backside at V0

A small area for bouldering during acclimatizations and trekkings in the valley with awesome views on high alpine objectives

A huge block standing alone on a sunny terrace, with views down to the Gokyo village and the blue lake. Perfect for a warmup with good views. Heel Hook to top out

A rather small but funny boulder just next to the huts in the Gokyo Village entrance trail.

Short but sweet boulder next to the Porters lodge. Good for some movement in-between treks
