Mera
Peak Climbing |
 |
Trip code NAP-MPK-111 |
|
|
Mera peak (6654m) is considered one of the major
and popular trekking peaks in Nepal. The Peak
itself rises to the south of Everest. The ascent
of the peak is technically straightforward;
however, the heavy snow and the maze of
crevasses can make the way longer to the summit.
Besides the charming of climbing Mera Peak, the
trek to its base camp from Lukla is rewarding
for experiencing little-visited and yet
unspoiled region of Nepal with densely forested
hill sides. There are several approaches to the
base camp besides the easy and normal route,
which is mentioned above. Mera Peak trek and
climbing server a gate way for high altitude
trekking to go over Amphulaptcha Pass (5780m) or
Mingbo-La (5871m) and also for climbing on
Baruntse, Chamlang and other Himalayas climbing
are quite adventurous and rewarding for
spectacular scenery but none of them are easy.
There are several approaches to the base camp
besides the easy and normal route which is
mentioned below. The normal route for climbing
Mera Peak is North Face Glacier from the Mera
La. Mera peak base camp can be set up at 5,300m
on the Hongu side in the moraine below the ice.
Normally, Mera peak high camp is set at 5,800m
near a rocky outcrop on the Mera Glacier. The
high camp proves to be one to the spectacular
viewpoints in Nepal offering the panoramic views
of Kanchanjunga, Chamlang, Makalu and Baruntse
sweeping around from the east and Amadablam, Cho
Oyu and Kangtega to the west. The giant faces of
Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse appear in the north.
There are three main summits which are climbable
without much difficulty. The south summit
(6,065m) is the most accessible with the
Northern Summit (6,476m), the highest, which can
be reached by skirting the Central Summit
(6,461m) to the north and following snow ridge
to its top. Climbing the middle summit requires
ascent up on steep snow and is slightly
technical. Mera North is straight-forward to
climb.
