Huinchuli
Peak |
(6,441m/21,126ft.)
Area: Annapurna Sanctuary in the Annapurna Himal.
Hiunchuli lies in the Annapurna range and it is
connected to Annapurna South. Discovered by Col. Jimmy
Roberts, it is one of the three major trekking peaks
within the "Annapurna Sancturary", to be named by
Roberts. The mountains of this area are considered the
sacred by the Gurungs who inhabit the region. The
other two peaks within the |
|
 |
|
sanctuary are
Tharpu Chuli (Tent Peak) and Singu
Chuli (Fluted Peak).
Hiunchuli was first summited by an American Peace Corps Expedition
under the leadership of Craig Anderson in October 1971. Although it
is easy to reach the mountain and the popularity of the Annapurna
Sancutary with trekkers and climbers, the actual ascent of Hinuchuli
is considered one of the most difficult among the trekking peaks.
South-East Face Route:
The route to base camp starts from Hinko Cave on the Annapurna
Sanctuar trail. After establishing the first camp somewhere above
the valley floor a further 2 camps are neccessary to make it to the
top. Although not technically extreme this route is exposed to
rockfall and serac dangers and is a complicated route-finding
experience.
North-West Face Route:
The ascent by the North-West Face has been attempted only by a
very few climbers and not always successfully. The exact route is
not well known. The approach is from the Annapurna Base Camp in the
Sanctuary and a further 2 camps may be necessary to complet this not
so well known ascent. |
