Makalu is the fifth
highest mountain in the world and is
considered the technical mountain to
climb. Normally, four camps are set up
in the approach excluding ABC which will
be set up at 5,300m. We follow the
lateral moraine, hike onto the glacier
and set up the camp I at a glacial
plateau at 6,150m. We further proceed
the direction of the glacier plateau in
the direction to Makalu La, climbing
stretches of steep slopes and arrive at
the base of the Makalu La to set up the
camp II at 7,000m. We climb the Messner
Headwall towards the North West Ridge at
Makalu La and the site of camp III at
7,300m. Camp IV will be set up on the
North Ridge at 7,850m and climb up the
couloir to gain the final ridge at the
summit (8,462m).
