Chulu West
Peak Climbing
Chulu West Peak Climbing: 6,220 m.
(20,407 ft.)
Chulu West and Chulu Central are best
accessed from a base camp situated in a
small valley north of Manang off the
main trail to the Thorong La. Some of
the best views of these peaks can be had
from that pass. When climbing these
peaks, be prepared for steep scree to
col a 4,900 m. North of the col ascend
snow slopes for 200 meters to a rock
band at 5,100 m. Climb this difficult
rock band to 5,450 m., cross onto a snow
plateau at 5,530m. and follow the
progressively narrowing ridge to the
summit (Chulu West).

To Climb Chulu Central, cross the snow
plateau and then traverse onto the Chulu
Glacier basin east of the ridge. Ascend
the broad glacier slopes avoiding serac
obstacles. While not technically
difficult, this area can be nasty in
soft snow and is prone to avalanche
under certain conditions. Continue
toward the obvious Central summit on
steepening snow until it is possible to
gain the crest of the summit ridge,
which may be corniced. This leads
directly to a small saddle and the final
15 meter pinnacle.
