Barun'tse
Barun’tse is a mountain in eastern Nepal, crowned by four
peaks and bounded on the south by the Hunku Glacier, on the east by the Barun
Glacier, and on the northwest by the Imja Glacier. The mountain was first
climbed May 30, 1954 via the south ridge by Colin Todd and Geoff Harrow of a
New Zealand expedition.
Climbing Mt. Baruntse
Baruntse is one of the beautiful 7,000m peaks in Nepal. It is also one of the few peaks of this
height with a high rate of success of ascent along the normal route. The
approach to the mountain follows the Makalu base camp trek itinerary. The trek
passes through the lush green of the
Arun Valley, Makalu – Barun National Park well known for natural beauty and
rich flora and fauna, and over several high passes with spectacular views of
the mountains.
This mountain has also been becoming coveted day by day like
the other Pumori, Ama Dablam as well as Everest too. The south -East Ridge of
Baruntse is little bit difficult because of being straightforward hard ways to
climb. There are hard sections of 50 Degree's elevation with a prominent ice
cliff to be climbed facing the risk of avalanche. The climbers have succeeded
the mountain mostly in the spring season because of being the season the best
to the climber safety. But also some climbers have reached on it's top in the
autumn season as well.
This Baruntse can be climb through Arun valley to Makalu
Base camp as well.
