TextPublication details: Llanberis ; The Expedition ; 2012 Description: [9]] leaves, maps, phot.,30cm Carrier type: Book | Subject(s): NepalDDC classification: 626 Online resources: Full text available here Summary: Peak 41 received its first official ascent in 2002 when a Slovenian Party summited via a
route up the South Face. The more remote and complex North Face, accessed by a
further two days walk into the Hongu Valley, had never previously been attempted. This
expedition chose to attempt a couloir up the North Face, this being both the obvious line
and most free from objective danger. After two days of climbing up bad snow and
extremely poor rock the party reached a point just under 6000m before abandoning the
line. Due to time constraints a second attempt could not be made.
