Friendship Trek

Mt.PARCHAMO PEAK TREKKING AND CLIMBING 6187m-20300ft:
The peak lies south of the Tashilapcha. Seen from the pass the mountain is an attractive but straightforward snow peak with

a well defined ridge rising from the relative flat, crevassed glacier. From the high camp near the Tashilapcha cross wide, crevassed snow slopes to gain the ride of Pacharmo, rising from the broken glacier of the pass. The ridge is followed with little difficulties, although in some conditions crevasses might give problems towards the summit. Several parties have reported a difficult ice step caused by a large crevasse about 300 ft from the summit.
