Hiunchuli Peak (6441m.) |
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 Sanctuary", 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 Sanctuary 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 Sanctuary trail. After establishing the first
camp somewhere above the valley floor a further 2 camps
are necessary to make it to the top. Although not
technically extreme this route is exposed to rockfall
and search dangers and is a complicated route-finding
experience.
North-West Face Route
The ascent by the NorthWest 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 complete this not so well
known ascent. |
