Kangchenjunga North face first ascent route

The north face of Kangchenjunga showing the route taken by Doug Scott, Peter Boardman, and Joe Tasker in 1979.The route is marked per the drawing in Boardman's book Sacred Summits. This third ascent of the peak was one of the turning points in large Himalayan siege style expeditions. Photo taken by me from Pangpema. October, 1998

Great

These are my favorite type of pictures on SP. Actually seeing the route and the camps make it so much more real. Kudos

Re: Great

Thanks very much. I must confess that I have no personal knowledge of this route, and it is not on my tick list!

However, this is an old SP v1 upload, so one thing I'll do "one of these days", is to rescan it and post a much better image.
