Baruntse Peak climbing is one of the best accessible peaks climb to achieve at the 7000M level. Mount Baruntse is located between Mount Everest (8848M), Lhotse (8516M), and Makalu (8463M) with other Himalayan peaks stretching on either side. This mountain offers a chance to gain valuable experience and skills that can be applied to higher peaks. Prior experience in alpine/mountain climbing is required for this expedition, and we will carefully verify any such experience before accepting applicants.
There is no denying the beauty of climbing this 7000M giant, but it is by no means an easy feat. With a difficulty rating of AD+, the climbing route includes technical climbs and glacier routes that will test your skills and endurance. Despite its challenges, this mountain will provide the necessary experience to prepare you for climbing 7500-8000 meter peaks in the future, should that be your goal. The South-East Ridge of Mount Baruntse is known for its steep sections of ice at 50 degrees and a prominent ice cliff around 7000 meters, making it a somewhat difficult climb. As a result, we recommend the more accessible and popular South Ridge to climb to the summit.
