Itinerary description
|
Ascent from Thorong Pass (5416m) to Thorong Peak (6140m).
Very hard climb due to the amount of snow that fell the previous days. Impossible to install fixed ropes, we had to climb making a footprint on some very vertical snow slopes with partial securing by means of snow anchors that we fixed by pouring water after sinking them into the snow, and waiting for them to freeze.
9 hours of ascent with almost no rest, descent in just over 3 hours, fixing the anchors again, half rappelling from them and gradually abandoning them.
The track corresponds to an ascent similar to the one we did, although we started from the tea house of the pass (the GPS failed us on the way up).
