Singu Chuli (6501m) an attractive mountain for
climbing, formerly known as Fluted Peak. Singu
Chuli peak is situated in the Annapurna
Sanctuary adjoined to Tharpu Chuli and across
Hiunchuli peaks. The mountain can be approached
from several routes: North-East Face, South
Ridge, and South Face & West Face. To reach
Singu Chuli we walk up the Modi Khola gorge to
the Annapurna Sanctuary. Base camp at around
4350m and then establish two higher camps, one
at 4,900m at the approach of North East Face and
a higher one at 6501m on the North East Face of
the mountain before the summit is gained.
North-East Face
We follow the trekking trail up to Machhapuchhre
base camp and then cross South Annapurna
Glaciers and moraines to reach grassy meadows to
a rock overhang which can be used as base camp
(4,200m.). We climb through the glaciers towards
north and pass through grassy shelf to reach a
ridge where we will set up high camp (4900m.).
From this camp we continue climbing between the
glaciers and the flank of the mountain to reach
a plateau below the North-East Face. We will fix
Camp I on a shelf (5,600m.) just below the
center of the face. We climb towards right hand,
which lead us just below a vertical wall
(122m.). We follow a gully on the left and climb
steep steps to gain upper section of the East
Ridge and then to the summit.
