This stunning peak lies in the Upper Khumbu region and is situated among some of the world's best-known mountains and most spectacular scenery. Pumori is a fantastic mountaineering objective; the peak straddles the Nepalese-Tibetan border. We'll climb following the southeast buttress in its lower reaches before traversing open snow-slopes to get to a col to the East Ridge. All that remains will be to climb steep slopes of the summit above. The route is mixed and varied and the climb is not of high technical difficulty. We'll establish at least three camps above the base camp, fixing the rope when necessary. The trip is best suited for strong, experienced climbers who want to gain experience for climbing higher peaks in the future.
