Kusum Kanguru Peak Climbing
Regarded as technically very challenging on all possible
routes, Kusum Kanguru is an impressive rock and ice peak,
which forms the border between the Dudhkosi in the south and
Hinku Valley to the north. Its name originating in Sherpa
language means the Three Snow-White Gods. This climb is
suggested only for participants who have enough alpine
mountaineering experience.
North Ridge
The North Ridge is approached from Monjo on the trail to
Namche Bazaar. From base camp ascend steep grass and screed
and finally a ramp leading to the ridge proper.
South-East Ridge
The approach to the South East Face is from the Hinku valley
side. From Lukla the base camp can be reached in 5 days. The
ascent route to the main summit is through the South East
Face. With a base camp at 4360m, two or three high camps are
required to complete the climb.
