with two
Sherpas, climbed to the summit by a route on its East
Flank in 1961. The normal route of ascent reaches a col
from a glaciated amphitheatre that rises above a hidden
plateau; the 'Other Sanctuary', as Roberts calls it.
Although another route has been made on the south-West
Face, Roberts' route is the only recorded line and the one
used on most subsequent ascents.
Obviously, the peak has commanding view of the Annapurna
ranges and undoubtedly a spectacular one of Machhapuchhare
the "Himalayan Matterhorn," better known as Fish Tail
Peak. Few westerners visit the valleys and ridges south of
Mardi Himal. They are steep sided and heavily wooded with
bamboo and rhododendron. Above the forest high alpine
pastures provide good grazing and a habitat for
undisturbed wildlife. Despite it lowly altitude the
mountain obviously has a great deal of potential for those
interested in small-scale exploratory mountaineering and
the ridges, already mentioned, present obvious climbing
challenges at a reasonable standard.
