Kanchenjunga (8,586) is the third
highest mountain in the world. It is located on the
border of Nepal and Sikkim, just 46 miles northwest of
Darjeeling. It is the most easterly of the great
8,000-meter peaks of the Himalaya.
It was first climbed by G. Band, Evans & Brown in 1955.
From 1838 until 1849, it was believed to be the highest
mountain in the world. It is an enormous mountain mass,
and many satellite peaks rise from its narrow icy
ridges.
Though not successfully climbed until 1955, it was first
attempted in 1905, but four members of those
international parties were killed in an avalanche. As
inspiring as Kanchanjunga's beauty is that at least the
first three parties to ascend the mountain never
attempted the final few feet to the summit out of
voluntary respect for the Sikkimese, who consider the
summit sacred. The successful British expedition of 1955
set the standard by stopping a few feet short of the
actual summit. There are four different routes to the
mountain peak with both its south and east side
providing opportunities for new routes. It is believed
that the east flank of the South Summit is by far the
most difficult face route |
