Chulu East (6,584 m.) is situated high above the Manang valley with
breathtaking views across to the Annapurnas II, III and IV, Gangapurna, Glacier
Dome, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho Peak and Manaslu. The climb is combined with the
classic trek around the Annapurna massif, ascending the Marshyangdi valley and
crossing the Thorong La, before descending the Kali Gandaki valley to Pokhara.
The climb is technically straightforward and you should be familiar with the use
of your equipment, crampons, harness, ice axe, tying knots and handling climbing
ropes. Most of the climbing will be involved walking roped together, including
the glacial crossings. You should be very fit and have good experience of
climbing.
