Climbing History of Pumori Expedition

Mt. Pumori was first reached in 1962 by a German-Swiss team under the leadership of Dr. Herbert Tichy via Southeast Ridge. Gerhard Lenser summited solo after the rest of the team turned back because of altitude sickness. A West German Lenser made the first successful ascent. The first ascent was followed by many more tries. The ascent of East Face's alternative route was completed in three days by two Japanese climbers, Yoshiki Sasahara and Hiroshi Aota, concluding on December 3rd, 1986. Pakistani mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara made the first winter ascent of the peak in 2017.

Route and Camp Details of Pumori Expedition

The most common path to the summit of Pumori start at a base camp at around 5,300m (17,388 ft) and proceeds up the southeast ridge, which is the standard route for the Mt. pumori. Acclimating to the tall elevation and exploring through hazardous landscape, such as crevasses, ice walls, and steep parts that frequently call for fixed ropes and advanced climbing skills, are requirements for climbers. The ascent requires mental durability, energy for the climb, and careful planning because of the unpredictability of Himalayan weather.

The elevation of base camp is 5300 meters/17,388 feet. Ascend the glaciers and sharp ridge of the hillside for approximately 4-5 hours to reach Camp I at an altitude of 5700m/18,701ft. Starting at camp I, we ascend a slope with a steepness ranging from 40 to 60 degrees and cross a snow barrier to arrive at camp II at an altitude of 6200m/20,341ft. From the second camp, ascend through icy barriers and gaps to arrive at the third camp at an altitude of 6500m/21,325ft. Navigate through crevasses, ascend to Pumori cliff, and continue to the peak.
