Pachharmo
peak (6273m) lies south of the Tasi Lapcha and, when seen
from the pass the mountain is really attractive. It is
a straightforward snow peak first climbed in 1955 along
a well defined north-by-northwest ridge rising from a
relatively flat, but crevassed, glacier that is still
the main route to the summit. The Rolwaling valley is
the main access to Pachharmo, We climb north-east of the
icefall of Tesi Lapcha, setting up a high camp just below
rock walls at 5,500m. From this camp we gain the ridge
of Parcharmo, following it without much difficulty - but
watching for crevasses which can cause problems near the
summit. The approach trek to Pachharmo in the Rolwaling
Himal leads through a region which has remained untouched
by western civilization and groups of trekkers are not
often seen, even in the peak trekking seasons. The scenery
is outstanding, the route leads along beautiful river
valleys before emerging in high alpine country and there
are excellent views of Gaurisankar, Melungtse and many
other great peaks. Crossing the Tashi Laptsa pass is challenging
and calls for some mountaineering experience.
