| Mt. Manaslu Expedition (8163m) |
Manaslu (8163m) was summated in 1956 by a
Japanese expedition team. Its name comes from the Sanskrit word
manasa, meaning "intelligence" or " soul". Just as the British
considered Everest their mountain. Manaslu has always been a
Japanese mountain. HW Tillman and Jimmy Roberts photographed
Manaslu during a trek in 1950. But the first real survey of the
peak was made by a Japanese expedition in 1952. A Japanese team
made the first serious attempt on the peak from the Budhi
Gandaki valley in 1953. When another team followed in 1954, the
villagers of Samagaon told them the first team had been
responsible for an avalanche that destroyed a monastery and
refused to let the 1954 expedition. The expedition set off to
climb Ganesh Himal instead. Despite a large donation for the
rebuilding of the monastery, subsequent Japanese expeditions,
including the one that made the first ascent in 1956, took place
in an atmosphere of animosity and mistrust. The second
successful Japanese expedition was in 1971. There was a South
Korean attempt in 1971 and in April 1972 an avalanche that
killed five climbers and 10 Sherpas ended the second made the
fourth ascent of Manaslu as a member of a Tyrolean expedition
that climbed from the Marshyangdi valley in 1972.
The Unique Adventure International offers one of the highest
quality commercial operations available in Amadablam. The
expedition consists of ample support with delicious meals. We'll
use plenty of Sherpa power to ensure the greatest chance of
success. |

| The Climb |
There will be three camps will set above base
camp before summiting the peak of Manaslu. We follow a cautious
acclimatization schedule at base camp before taking first trip
to Manaslu glacier. The ascent begins right after we step on to
Manaslu glacier. The route here will be heavily crevassed and
fix the rope over the cautious sections in bamboo marker wands.
We then reach to the camp I which lies on a protected shoulder
at the head of Manaslu glacier.
There will be fixed ropes required on most of the route from
Camp I to Camp II. Camp II located at the top of the serac
section of the climb on a flat spot. Even though it is located
in the flat spot safe of danger this site can receive heavy snow
accumulation. This is the most technical section of the Manaslu
climb. The route now continuously up through the upper glacier
approaching Camp III. Camp III located on a flat saddle that
lies just below the col where you’ll experience strong winds
here.
The climb from Camp III to Camp IV continues up the glacier
weaving through the serac with some steep sections of ice and
snow where fixed ropes required.
Once you make Camp IV then you’ll approach summit. The route to
summit tiered plateaus before reaching at the final Pyramid
slope. The summit is reached with an exposed technical traverse
for around less than 100 meters in linear distance and will
fixed rope. |
