Tawoche Expedition

Tawoche (6501m) lies in the north of Tengboche in Khumbu region. We follow the trekking route of Everest base camp up to Pheriche and then proceed to base camp. It is considered a technical peak for climbing in Himalayas. The peak was first climbed via the normal route on the South east face in 1974. The East Ridge ascends an east-facing spur to a sub-peak on the southeast ridgeline, then rises along that ridge to the summit. A route on the left side of the east face of Tawoche consists of fifty- to sixty-degree ice; on the upper part several vertical ice pitches over cravases; on the lower part mixed climbing but the route is around 1500 meters long. The southwest side of Tawoche generally offers longer and more technical climbing, but the east side also has a history of impressive ascents; solo of the East-Southeast Face in 2005, ascent of the North-East Pillar in 1989, alpine-style ascent of the Northeast Face in 1989.
