Baruntse
is one of the beautiful 7,129m snow peaks in the Himalayas
of Nepal. Baruntse, a substantial and symmetrical snow
peak , lies in the heart of Khumbu massif surrounded by
some of the famous peaks of the world, Mt. Everest, Lhotse,
Makalu, Chamlang, Amadablam and Mera trekking peak. The
peak is crowned by four summits on four ridges. It is
also one of the few peaks of this height with a high rate
of success of ascent on normal route via South Ridge.
The approach to the mountain follows the Mera Peak trek
up to Mera La and then to Baruntse base camp (5,250m).
The route is not technically demanding and essentially
a straightforward climbing on snow and ice with some sections
of overhangings. Normally, two high camps are established
above the base camp in Baruntse climbing. The camp I is
set up just below East Col. at an altitude of 5,700m and
the camp II is on the South – East Ridge at a height
of 6,420m.
