This fantastic peak lies in the Upper Khumbu region. Pumori is a stunning mountaineering objective; the peak straddles the Nepalese-Tibetan border. We'll climb following the southeast buttress in its lower reaches before traversing open snow-slopes to get to a col to the East Ridge, then climb the steep slopes to the summit. The route is mixed and the climb is not of high technical difficulty.
The trip is best suited experienced climbers who want to gain experience for climbing higher peaks in the future.
