Ascent
of Chulu West and Chulu Central are
best made from a base camp in a small
valley north of Manang situated off
the main trail to Thorong La pass
5416m. Indeed some of the best views
of this peak can be had from that
pass. North-West Ridge: Go beyond
the hut following the yak pastures
and walk up a ridge which leads into
a hidden valley where it is possible
to find a good site for base camp.
From this camp , ascend steep scree
slopes to a col 4,900/16,076 feet),
on a subsidiary ridge that leads down
from the main ridge. To the north
of the col ascend snow slope for 200
meters to the base of a band of rock
at an altitude of 5,100 meters and
the site for a possible high camp.
Climb the rock band with some difficulty
to the north-west shoulder of Chulu
west 5450 meters/17,880 feets, where
another camp can be established or
alter-native a camp can be placed
on a snow plateau above 5,530 meters/18,143
feets. On the first ascent and several
subsequent ascents rope was fixed
on the rock band. From the plateau
continue up the progressively narrowing
ridge to the summit 6,250 meters /20,505
feets. Descend by the some route
