singu chuli peak |
Singu Chuli (6,501 m) was formerly known as
Fluted Peak. The first ascent of this peak was
made by Wilf Noyce and David Cox on its
North-East Face and the top section of the East
Ridge. This mountain has proven to be very
difficult to climb for most commercial climbing
groups who have tried to concentrate on Tent
Peak.
Singu Chuli is the first summit on the long
ridge thrown down from Tarke Kang (Glacier
Dome), which separates the South and West
Annapurna Glaciers. Annapurna South Base Camp
provides the best distant view of the mountain.
To date, apart from the original route, most
efforts to climb this mountain have concentrated
on the face and ridges seen from this viewpoint.
The southwest ridge of the mountain connects
with Tent Peak. The terrain between the two
mountains is a confusing one and the ridge is
not straight. |
