Mt. Pumori Expedition
It is mostly a snow climb up fixed lines that we will all take part in fixing.
Some snow/ice climbing ability really helps here. You will need crampons and an ice axe for some of the snow/ice
and mixed stretches, so experience with use of these is mandatory. Of course you will need to be in an above average
shape and a positive mental attitude is as important as good physical condition.
ENROUTE INFORMATION :
South Ridge- a scramble to (ABC) Advanced Base Camp, gradual to steep snow to Camp 1,
to camp 2 mixed snow & ice (grade 3 ice) & rock 5.4 easy to moderate, summit day is steep snow 55 degrees.
Some rock climbing ability really helps here. You will need crampons for some of the snow/ice (the upper mountain)
and mixed stretches, so experience with the use of these helps a lot. Of course you will need to be in an above average
shape and a positive mental attitude is as important as good physical condition.
