joepuryear Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Trip: Kang Nachugo, Rolwaling Valley, Nepal - South Face to West Ridge Date: 10/17/2008 Trip Report: Hello CC friends, David Gottieb and I just returned from an incredible journey in the Nepal Himalaya. We spent 47 days making the beautiful journey through the Rolwaling and Khumbu valleys, climbing peaks and having a great time. Our main objective was the unclimbed Kang Nachugo (6,735 meters) in the center of the Rolwaling Valley. We made the first ascent of the peak over 5 days, summitting on October 17th. I've posted a full trip report on our Climb Nepal blog: www.climbnepal.blogspot.com. Check it out. Here are a few pictures from the trip: David looking out toward Kang Nachugo: David leading on the South Face: David following snow flutings gaining the ridge crest: David on the ridge crest: View from the summit of Cho-Oyu, the Khumbu region, Mt. Everest, and Lhotse: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
