The highest of these peaks,
marked Chulu West (6419m/21,054ft) on the
trekking maps, has a recorded altitude from
at least two expeditions of nearer 6400m
(20,997ft); this might more accurately be
called Chulu Central. As a result many climbing
parties have mistakenly climbed one of these
peaks thinking it to be Chulu East or West.
It usually understood that with the permit
to climb the East or West peak an attempt
can be made to the nearby peak as well.
A climb of one or both
of these peaks combined with Nepal's most
famous Arround the Annapurna trek make up
for one of the most spectacular Himalayan
trekking and climbing outings. Chulu West:
The obvious approach to this peak diverges
from the main trail to the Thorung La pass
past the village of Manang and Base Camp
is established in a small valley to the
North. From base camp the route follows
a subsidery North-West ridge that leads
up to the main peak. An attempt to the peak
and return has be done in a single day as
setting camp up on the slope above base
camp is not easy. An attempt of Chulu Central
peak (6,429m/21,060ft) just east of Chulu
West.
Chulu East :
The North-East Ridge is considered the normal
route to climb this peak from a Base Camp
on the moranis at 5334m (17500ft). Most
climbers make it to the top and back from
Base Camp in one long day although some
have, in the past, established a higher
camp somewhere below the peak.
