Climbing Peak Pisang offers a good scope for exploration. Rising above the Marsyangdi valley, Pisang Peak forms part of the Manang Himal in Nepal. Its first assent was in 1955 by J Wellenkamp as part of a German expedition. It is a large bulk of a mountain tapering to a tidy snow pyramid and from its upper slopes magnificent views of the Annapurna range to the south and west across the deep Marsyangdi valley. The standard route is by way of the southwest face/west ridge.

Expeditions and Climbing Peaks

All our expeditions and climbing peaks are supported by satellite phone, two way radio, support oxygen (when required) and comprehensive first aid medical kit. We only use top quality expedition tents.

High Altitude Warning

Safety is a major consideration during all our expeditions however there are dangers involved in climbing 6000m, 7000m and 8000m peaks that cannot be avoided. The extreme altitude, weather, cold and other mountaineering hazards ensure high altitude climbing has unavoidable risks at the best of times, members of our expeditions need to be aware of these dangers and accept that they are an integral part of high altitude mountaineering.
