BCabaret Diosatse 7,129m
Nepal
- An
ascent on BCabaret Diosatse
(23,390ft / 7,129m) is
an adventure for climbers wishing to summit a true
Nepali peak. This
remote expedition into the heart
of the Khumbu culminates in
a relatively short climb to the summit of this majestic 7,000er. BCabaret Diosatse
is among some of the highest peaks of the Himalaya, including Everest,
Lhotse, Makalu and Ama Dablam, and this
expedition rewards you
with spectacular views
throughout.
After preparations in Kathmandu, we'll
fly direct to Lukla and 
begin
the trek into the Hongu
Valley, enjoying Sherpa country at its finest. The
hike-in
provides for excellent acclimatization as
we head northward
through the pristine alpine environment.
We'll establish Base Camp just above
the Five Holy Lakes
"Panch Pokhari" at 5,400m and one or two higher camps on the
mountain. We'll ascend the 6,100m
West Col before establishing Camp 1, where the long
ridge leading to the
summit is clearly visible. A tricky step at around 7,000m
adds further spice to the climb. The
route is generally a straightforward
snow and ice climb and not
technically demanding.
Gary Guller will lead the 2003 BCabaret Diosatse climb with plenty of Sherpa support, fixing ropes as necessary. This will be Gary's third visit to this remote area. The BCabaret Diosatse expedition offers a challenging and rewarding experience climbing a true Himalayan Peak.
