Nirekha Peak (6159m) is in the Mahalangur
Region, deep in the Himalayas, close to the
Tibetan border and hidden among the well-known
giants of Everest, Cho Oyu, and Cholatse. Only
recently has it been opened up to Western
climbers. The climb itself is relatively
straightforward, though it does require ice-axe,
crampons and some fixed rope sections. It is a
very do-able climb for anyone in good shape and
with a desire for high adventure.
The normal ascent to the Nirekha Peak is a great
and - depending on the conditions - difficult
climb. Only experienced climbers should attempt
this route, though it is partially saved with
fixed ropes. The summit consists of two summit
pyramids. It is unclear which one is higher.
Clearly the N summit is easier, but requires
crossing a difficult crevasse, while the S
summit requires one pitch in steep (50°) ice.
The Kanchung BC is the preferable starting
point; from the lake camp it is hardly doable in
one day. Both ascents are scenically beautiful.
