Highlights of the Trek |
|
Seen from the Pisang the peak rises from
yak pastures above the village in a
uniform slope to the final summit
pyramid which is an undistinguished snow
and ice slope. Looked at from above
Ongre the peak is a little more
interesting and can be seen as a curved
ridge, with the face above Pisang being
the truncated southern end of the
mountain. This is made up of steeply
tilted rock, the dip slope of which
faces the valley and is well seen in
this peak as well as the great rock
slabs further down the valley. The
climbing of Pisang is quite steep
although without difficulty to the
summit. Descent is made by the same
route.
