Singu
Chuli, an attractive mountain for climbing, is also known as Fluted Peak.
The mountain can be seen from Annapurna South base camp but the better
shape of the mountain with pointed ridge of snow and ice is seen from
the moraines above the lodges. The mountain can be approached from several
routes: North-East Face, South Ridge, South Face & West Face.
North-East
Face
We
follow the trekking trail up to Machhapuchhre base camp and then cross
South Annapurna Glaciers and moraines to reach grassy meadows to a rock
overhang which can be used as base camp ( 4,200m.). We climb through the
glaciers towards north and pass through grassy shelf to reach a ridge
where we will set up high camp ( 4,900m.). From this camp we continue
climbing between the glaciers and the flank of the mountain to reach a
plateau below the North-East Face. We will fix Camp I on a shelf ( 5,600m.)
just below the center of the face. We climb towards right hand which lead
us just below a vertical wall (122m.). We follow a gully on the left and
climb steep steps to gain upper section of the East-Ridge and then to
the summit.
