Nodes in Langtang Area

The Langtangtang Trek is one of the 'Big Three' treks in Nepal. It offers alpinim at xxx, a few trekking peak with breathtaking views and nice small blocs...

Nab a peak on the descent of Yala, or the popular day-hike from Gompa. Beautiful views with no technicalities other than basic route finding.

A good acclimatization peak. Most trekkers visit the lower peak for dawn, then return for breakfast in the village and descend lower down the valley.

3800m to 4300m. The warm up

Requires a trekking peak permit.

Requires a trekking peak permit.

The peak was renamed in honour of Baden Powell, the founder of the scouts on the centenary of its founding.

The Nepal government have designated this a special peak, royalty free. But you still need a TIMS and Langtang pass.

Not to be confused with Tsergo Ri. Tsergo Peak is the higher point on the ridge crest of Yala Peak.

Under 5,800m so no trekking peak permit required, but you still need a TIMS and a Langtang pass.

"The Lang Tang valley is a large glacial valley just north of Kathmandu. The valley runs roughly east-west and is flanked by the massive south wall of Lang Tang I and other peaks of the area. During the winter the Valley forms many ice falls of various habit up and down the valley. During the winter of 2004 myself and a group of British and Australian climbers made several first ascents of ice falls in the valley." (source)

Ascend a long ice ramp to a large alcove below a big ice fall in a corner. Climb the falls directly to a belay above a steep WI4 step. Descend the route via abalakovs and vegetation. LOcation: This route is located across from the upper village of Lang Tang across the river and should be visible from the trail. North facing.

A lot of blocks and rock of good clean quality around in the area!

Scrambling to the 5000er from Laurebina Pass

An obvious grey rock outcop you aleady see from far below when you go from Golphu Bhanjyang to Kutumsang. Perfect clean solid rock!

The "Normal Route" is frequently soloed by locals, but be aware that a fall would be devastating and there is no mountain rescue nowhere...

Great rock, potential for many more toprope/trad/sport routes IF you bring climbing stuff there

Frequently soloed by locals. Great solid clean rock! Crux is the first few meters, the rest is easy 4b. But be aware that a fall would be devastating and there is no mountain rescue nowhere... Downclimb necessary, think of this before!

Around the rock are more toprope/trad/spor routes possible. The western slabs would be some great 5ish routes, east side 6ish, south side hard.

On the southern slab are also 15m routes on nice rock nuckles possible, bring a brush for the first meters.

Climber on a trekking route? Bring your shoes with you and you can touch some good sunny granite with grassy landings on your restday! Breathtaking landscape, double breathtaking at an altitude of 3.800m. For the harder lines a spotter and maybe a crashpad are useful. It's a teahouse trek, you don't need anything except your teethbrush

There is not much documentation (yet). A nobody climbed a few easy lines with hiking boots and documented the obvious lines with good grassy landings. Go for the FA! (And please add your info here, thx!)

10-20 granite blocs.

Sit start next to the small stream and climb the immaculate arete.

Left of the Yak Cheese factory. Get ready to attract an audience of locals! Stand start the big “Buddha” (as a local stated) compressing the big bulge.

The bomber granite face- back and left 50m’s from the Yak Cheese Factory. A tricky crux start, into dynamic climbing.

Topo. Striking line up the 1200m high North West granite face of a previously unclimbed and unnamed 6563m peak. Video. Article.

10-20 blocs scattered around east of Lantang town and before K.Gompa. Easily found by take the trekking trail and looking for the “Warning Rockslide Zone”

Sit start the left arete. 5m’s left of the main trail

Sit start the right arete. 2m’s right of Rishi

Sit start the left arete - on the bloc to the left of “Rishi”

Compress the stunning arete feature. Start in a low sit start.

Start start the striking arete. Channel your inner monk- to zen compress it - to a high and wild top. Needs pads*

Boulders found next to the new monastery. Lots of room for sport routes on the close cliffs also

Found 30m’s behind “Beyond Infinity”. Stand start the nice overhang, with the arete on the left and figure out a way up. Sit start possible one day- but hard hard.

Stand start with thin RH and LH slopey hold. Some big moves to slopey holds define this one. The ledge on the left is out

6387m

7218m and considered very technical & difficult. The tallest peak in the national park. Has been rarely attempted since 2015, after the loss of many lives in the earthquake which destroyed the entire of “Lantang old Town”.
