Pokalde Peak Climbing

Pokhalde Peak is (5806m) was situated in southwest part of Mount Everest. It is one of the shortest and easiest trekking peaks in the Everest Region. The majority of the 650m climb from base camp requires little more than walking with short sections of scrambling up rock. This rocky peak is scarcely covered by snow. On the top of the Pokalde Peak we can see the mountains such as, Makalu, Ama Dablam and Pumori. Because of its relatively low difficulty and impressive summit vista's for this altitude, Pokalde is a popular commercial tourist peak in Nepal for those wishing to climb a Himalayan peak without needing to use ice axes and crampons.

Normally this peak can be climbed in half a day by a fit and acclimatized group with appropriate Climbing Guide. Despite its low difficulty, sections of Pokalde are quite exposed so it shouldn't be attempted in poor weather. Doing so would significantly increase the difficulty of the climb above that of a "simple trekking peak". The final pitch to the summit also involves a short section of near vertical scrambling which for amateurs should definitely be protected by rope.
