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:
