INTRODUCTION :
The peak Makalu ( 8,463 meters ) was
first mapped and photographed from the Tibetan side in 1921 by the British
Everest reconnaissance. Hillary and Shipton photographed mount Makalu on the
1951. A year later, in 1952 , Hillary
and others approached the peak just
after the failure of their mount Cho- Oyu ( 8201 meters ) expedition.
The first direct attempt on mount Makalu
was in 1954 by a US team, mostly from California , who trekked all the way from
the Nepal-India border near Biratnagar town towards the base camp of Makalu. At
the same time a British team approached the mountain, but this expedition was
abandoned when Hillary became seriously ill and had to be evacuated.
Finally, this enigmatic ice peak of mount “Makalu” ( 8,463meters )
was first climbed by a French party in 1954. In the autumn of 1954 a French
team attempted the peak. In the following spring, successfully ascents were
made by three teams of French climbers on successive days.
Later , the Japanese climbed mount
Makalu in 1970, another French team climbed it in 1971 and a Yugoslav
expedition reached the summit in 1975.
The
Adventurous Route : “
Makalu West Face
Approach”
It is very adventurous as well as a little bit dangerous to approach
mount Makalu via its west face. The 5 serial attempts were made before climbing
this mighty snow peak of Makalu and only in final it was subjugated by the
Russian expedition team in 1997. This
expedition was leaded by Sergey Efimov
whose team scaled it on the date of
21st May 1997 using the most
difficult west face route. Other team members were Alexei Bolotov, Yuri Ermachek, Dmitri
Pavlenko, Igor Bugachevski and Nikolai Jiline . For this adventurous ascent the
Russian Expedition team were awarded
the "Golden Ice - Axe".
A
Brief Note On the Altitude & Technical Climbing via West Face :
The west face approach to mount Makalu can be classified into the 4 parts
according to its altitude & the route structure, as follows.
The bottom part starts from the base of
the West Face at 5,800 meters and climbs to the hanging ice-fall at 6,100
meters to the right part of the ice-fall.
The second part extends from the plateau
above the ice-fall along 35 to 45 degree elevation's rock up to the 6,500
meters high.
The next section is an ice-rock wall, 50
to 55 degrees steep & that extends to 7,400 meters height.
The last final section begins 70 to 75
degree elevation's rock pillar, which leads to the west ridge at 8,000 meters
height till to the top of the summit.
Ropes are typically fixed from 5800m to 6100m and from 6500 m to 7500m.
The French Route on the West Pillar is
an aesthetically stunning line that has been seldom attempted. It is an
exceedingly difficult, a very steep pillar that was first successfully ascended
in 1971. The crux of the line comes at approximately 7,600m in the area of the
Seignior Wall.
The first US team to summit mount Makalu
was in 1980, they scaled via this West Pillar Route. The team consisted of Jim
States, John Roskelley, Kim Momb and Chris Kopczynski. They scaled the summit
without the use of Oxygen cylinder and Sherpa guide support.
