MT. SHISHAPANGMA EXPEDITION
Its Sanskrit name is "Gosainthan". Reinhold Messner called it
"an exquisite apparition". Indeed, it is Emerging out of the earth-brown
Tibetan plateau a solitary snow goddess rearing its not-so-ugly head out
to be admired. It was first climbed by H. Ching and Nine Climbers in 1964.
This 'exquisite apparition' is located in central Himalaya and lies totally
within Tibet. To the east lies Mount Molamenchen, to the west Mount Xifeng
& Mount Nandengri and to the northwest Mount Kangbochen.
There are three distinct climbing routes on the Southwest face with several
other logical possibilities on the West Ridge and East face. Our route
picks up from Nyalam, 33km from the Nepal - Tibet border, up to the Chinese
base camp at an altitude of about 5000-5400m. The trek to BC takes about
three to five days via the Nyanang Phu Chu valley.
