Annapurna IV is considered relatively an easier
mountain to climb among all the Annapurnas. The
normal route to reach the destination is led
forward through Manang. It requires two hours
walking from the base camp to reach the bottom
of the mountain. A 500m fixed rope climbing on
approximately 65-70 degrees steep slope should
be attempted to reach camp I. To reach camp II,
a fixed rope climbing of approximately 1000m is
required along the ridge and a little widespread
steep climbing. From Camp II to Camp III, it is
relatively easier than the others, since this
part consists of zigzag crossing and gradual
climbing up. However, a fixed rope climbing of
approximately 1300-1500m is required. From camp
III to the summit, generally fixed rope is not
required and the main rope is used. There are
possibilities of avalanches between Camp I and
II.
