 Pumori (7161 m ) Expedition

   Region: Khumbu (Everest Region)

Introduction:

Pumori is located in Nepal's Khumbu region. This pyramid shaped 23,495 ft peak dominates the skyline behind Kala Pattar. Anyone who has made the trip to Everest either as a climber or trekker will remember Pumori's distinctive shape. Named by George Leigh Mallory, "Pumori" means "Unmarried Daughter" in the Sherpa language. Used as a training peak for past Everest teams this peak now is now a popular climbing expedition in its self.

The route to the summit of Pumori follows the Southeast buttress before it traverses to the East Ridge for the remainder of the ascent. Requiring excellent physical fitness, Pumori offers sections of wild exposure, views of Lhotse and Mt. Everest, with technical difficulty worthy of any Himalayan alpinist. Pumori is a serious expedition peak, only for experienced climbers.
