Nepal - Makalu, "The Great Black One" 65-70 days

Makalu (The Great Black One) was first climbed by the French in 1955 and is the world's 5th highest mountain at 8,463m. Situated between Everest and Kanchenjunga, on the Nepali-Tibetan border. Our expedition we'll trek from Tumlingtar, just above the ARUN River to Makalu Base Camp at approximately 5100 meters. We'll ascend via the Northwest Ridge establishing 4 high camps on the mountain. Our strong team will fix ropes as required. Depending on our fitness, we'll be moving up and down the mountain several times, acclimatizing and stocking the higher camps. This expedition is fully supported.

Makalu is a very beautiful but extremely challenging, and potentially dangerous mountain. Barely more than 200 mountaineers have stood on her summit - Makalu should be treated with the utmost respect. The team must work together as a team and stay committed, period.
