Mt. Kumbhakarna Expedition (7710m) Nepal Spring 2013
Jannu (now officially known as Kumbhakarna) lays 11km to the West of the summit of Kanchenjunga . Though lower, it is a very difficult peak, with a summit pyramid that is steep on all sides. The first ascent and “standard” route is a complex and difficult, though not extreme, route up the Southeast Ridge, from the Yamatari Glacier. Neighboring peak Jannu East, 7468m, was unclimbed as of 1997. On the climbing side, no experience is necessary, however you must be familiar with alpine environments and must understand the risks that camping and climbing above the snowline pose. Previous Nepal or Pakistan trekking experience, or long route hiking experience is desirable. If you have any doubts, please discuss with us.
