Shishapangma is the
fourteenth highest mountain in the world, the lowest of the 8000 meter
peaks. It is a massive peak with a long, steep, craggy southern face. Shishapangma is one of the easiest eight-thousanders
to climb. |
|
It is the high peak of the Langtang Himal, and
looms over its much lower satellite peaks. It is located almost due north of
Kathmandu, on the Tibet side of the border. |
|
The standard route ascends from the north
side, and boasts relatively easy access, with vehicle travel possible to
base camp at 5,000 metres (16,400 feet). |
