Routes in Nepal

Summit: 6476m

Fun new route, following the central chimney in the middle of the crag. Best bolted and least run-out route on the crag.

Without using the huge handholds away and right.

Easy but quite run-out.

#7

Mostly 5c with a 6a crux.

Easy but run-out.

#6

#8

Pass the final grey tufa to the right for this harder variation. The right side of the tufa has a separate bolt. The anchor is shared with the left variation and is well above the grey tufa. The lower route can also be fully climbed on the face to the right of the bolt line, avoiding several of the good pockets on the left side. 6c+ at 8a.nu.

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.

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.

3800m to 4300m. The warm up

Route branches left below the final grey tufa with a separate bolt on the left side of the tufa. The anchor is well above the grey tufa. Shares the anchor with the right variation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As the name suggests.

Left side of the easy slab.

5c ledgy climbing with 2 6a cruxes.

Can be approached via either one of two ways;

Approach 1: Jagat - Dharapano - Chame - Upper Pisang - Ngawal - Yak Kharka - Chulu Far East BC

Approach 2: Jomsom - Kagbeni - Muktinath - Thorong La - Thorung Phedi - Yak Kharka - Manang - Humde - Chulu Far East BC

Standard approach: Chulu Far East BC - Camp 1 - Summit

Middle of the easy slab

Straight up the flat orange face. Easier than it looks.

Right side of easy bloc

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

Lokation : 27.977478°, 86.762703° Höhe: 6159 m

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.

at least 6 bolts

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

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

Boulder just after Namche helipad, below a building

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.

Start off moving up to a left hand shelf, a jug and continue to some sharp pockets above. Smear and crimp until you make it to the top for some good jams to make the last clip ...or reach up over to find more options.

Approach: You can find this route in the caged in area on the top platform between the left trending crack and a small overhang at the base of the cliff.

#9

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

#SD

First route on the far left side of the wall. A good warm up. Anchor is just below a large tree at the top of the pitch. Furthest route to the left on the wall. Has a fresh 1 painted in yellow and green at the base.

Solid bolts. Begins with a small off width and a scramble up to a corner roof problem. Make it up over that and then you continue trending left on an over hang with plenty of small crumbly bits and smooth footings, isn't limestone a challenge. Get up and over the second roof problem and you've busted the crux. Now just make it out as far left as possible to clip the chains under the vines.

According to local mountain guides the most famus route of Nepal and 6b+.

Approach: Instead of going into the fenced in area, continue to walk away from the village toward the rest of the wall. You will pass two new sport climbs on the corner by the fence and then move in under the overhanging wall. In the center of this wall is the only bolted climb as of now... the cobra.

#3

Video.

Start just left of a bridge over the river. Smearing under the overhang, step up traversing left. Finishing just left of the top block.

Two routes left of the chimney. Easy low angle to a few moves just before the anchors.

Up the last part of the slap, then slightly overhanging on good holds to the top.

#10

#highball Rip.

Another good warm out route. Second route on the wall. Have a #2 painted at the base and is the obvious bolt line to the right of the painted #1.

Topo.

The first of the three 'ABC' routes between the routes numbered 3 and 4 on the wall. The ABC routes are accessible via a cable way leading up to the belay place. This is the leftmost line of bolts (6 bolts).

Video.

Located about a meter to the right of "Mossy But Not Moist". #SD with right hand high and left hand round the out crop, work your way up to the ledge and mantleshelf to gain finish.
