FLUTED
PEAK (Singa
Chuli 6501 m.)
Fluted Peak is
the highest amongst the "Trekking
Peaks" of Nepal. Wilfred Noyce,
the first man to summit this shapely
mountain with David Cox compared its
beauty with India's highest and probably
the most beautiful peak, Nanda Devi.
This peak is situated in the Annapurna
Sanctuary adjoined to Tharpu Chuli
and across Hiunchuli peaks. We arrive
at the base camp of Singu Chuli in
spectacular six days walk up the Modi
Khola gorge to the Annapurna Sanctuary.
Base camp at around 4350m and then
establish two higher camps, one at
4,900m/16,000ft at the approach of
North East Face and a higher one at
5,500m. on the North East Face of
the mountain before the summit is
gained. A vertical wall near the summit
pose some technical challenge on this
climb. This climb is suggested to
only those with some alpine and ice
climbing experience.
