Khumbu Himal, Sagarmatha
Kusum Kanguru, 6,369 meters,
dominating the southern end of
Charpati Himal separates the
valley of the Dudh Koshi from
the upper reaches of Hinku
Drangka. This peak is a complex,
triple–summited mountain having
at least five major ridges and
faces. The north face of the
main summit is the most
spectacular one. The name Kusum
Kanguru comes from Tibetan
meaning “Three Snow Peaks”.
This peak is one of the most
difficult trekking peaks to
climb and was first ascended in
the autumn of 1979 by a Japanese
team. |
