Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the world and, even though it is regarded as one of the more technically straightforward 8000m peak, its altitude is a serious undertaking and requires careful preparation and a high level of fitness. Situated in western Nepal, we climb the classic North East face via four camps utilising the support of regular team of climbing Sherpa’s. The climbing route is fairly direct without being too steep or having any major technical difficulties beyond the ice cliffs/Seracs we weave through towards camp 2, on the approach to camp 4 and the final snow arête to the summit.
