Trip Overview
Gyachung Kang is a high mountain in the Khumbu region. It is the highest peak between Mount Everest and Cho Oyu. Its twin snow and rock peaks tower above the immediate surroundings, separated by a narrow saddle.
The approach is easy by Gokyo Lake, then by crossing from the Ngozumpa glacier. This peak was first climbed by Y. Kato and Pasang Phutar on a Japanese expedition in 1964. The route presents some small technical difficulties and care should be taken for possible avalanches.
