Makalu (8,463) is the fifth highest
mountain in the world. It lies in the north east region
of and is a close neighbour to Mount Everest. Despite it
being the fifth tallest among the eight thousanders, the
mountain is still virtually 'new. It is an isolated
peak, located just 14 miles east of Mount Everest. Its
size alone is impressive, but its structure, that of a
perfect pyramid with four sharp ridges, makes this
mountain all the more spectacular.
It has proved to be a challenging climb, as only five of
its first sixteen attempts were successful. Previously,
it had been admired and studied by several Everest
parties, but like so many other giants in the Khumbu
region, it was not attempted until the summit of Everest
had been attained in 1954. A French group first climbed
Makalu in the year 1955.
Chomo Lonzo (25,650 ft.) is a subsidiary peak of Makalu,
rising just north of the higher summit, separated by a
narrow saddle. |
