Kanchanjunga 8,586m. Expedition Autumn (2009) &
Spring (2010) |
|
 |
|
Kanchanjunga, at 8,586m, is the third-highest
peak in the world and the second-highest in
Nepal. It was first climbed by a British team in
1956. The peak consists of four summits. The
west summit, Yalung Kang, is 8420m high and some
people classify it as a separate 8000m. peak.
Thee first Westerner to explore Kanchanjunga was
the British botanist JD Hooker, who visited the
area twice in 1848 and 1849. Exploration of the
Sikkim, side of the peak continued with both
British and pundit explorers mapping and
photographing until 1899. In that year a party
led by Douglas fresh field made a circuit of
Kanchanjunga and produced what is still one of
the most authoritative maps of the region.
Exploration continued, mostly from the Sikkim
side, with expeditions starting from Darjeeling
in British India. One of the major contributors
to Western knowledge about the region was Dr AM
Kellas, who later died in Tibet during the
approach march of the 1921 Everest expedition.
German expeditions attacked the peak in 1929,
1930 and again in 1931, but none was successful.
After the was Sikkim was closed but Nepal was
open. In 1955 a team led by Dr Charl es Evans
approached the peak via the Yalung Glacier. Two
teams climbed the peak, stopping just short of
the summit to conform to an agreement with the
Maharaja of Sikkim that the summit would remain
inviolate.
The Japanese then took up the challenge and
mounted expeditions in 1967, 1973 and n1974.
when they climbed Yalung Kang. A German
Expedition climbed Yalung Kang in 1975, and in
Indian army team mounted the second successful
expeditions to the main peak of Kanchanjunga. |
