Field Before After Basecamp Date 2024-10-042024-10-06 Total Days 2018 Total Hired 10 No Hired FalseTrue Other Summits -Climbed Kaqur Kangri (KANT-243-01) Route Notes Climbed new route on Kaqur Kangri in Nov 2024 (via SW Ridge)Ridge). Notes from Spencer Gray: Approach: Gamgadhi to Takla Khola to Mayongthan Khola. Since there hadn’t been a report of a climbing expedition to this valley since 1998, and we had no photos of the lower half of the mountains, we were unsure what would be unclimbable, if anything. The only prior expedition and report suggested the potential for impassable seracs and walls, but only an in-person reconnaissance would confirm the possibilities. We examined Takla Kang, surrounding unnamed peaks, as well as Kaqur Kangri (Kanti Himal). Takla Kang had more obviously loose rock on several potential lines, with more significant melt-out, than the southwest arete of Kanti Himal, which seemed objectively relatively safe from overhead hazard, and with sound rock. Arrived BC on October 6, 4700m We climbed alpine-style, October 15-21, and did not set use set camps, after sleeping at the mountain’s base proper at 5200m. We bivouacked six nights total (in a small tent), two of those nights (nights 1 and 2) at the same site due to a stove failure that required retrieving a backup stove cached at the base. Had the stove failed on one of the subsequent days, we probably would not have summitted. Summited on October 21, ~10 am, Spencer Gray and Ryan Griffiths. Stayed 10 on summit, then descended all the way to base camp. Alpine-style, no fixed ropes used to climb (on day two of the climb, we fixed our two lead ropes (60m half/double ropes) in order to rappel a cliff to retrieve a backup stove at the mountain’s base and then returned to our bivouac the same day, bringing both ropes back up with us). No Sherpas, no oxygen. Used mules to carry suppliesl to base camp. Matt Zia ascended the first day to 5800m and chose to descend after reassessing his motivation. Devendra Tamang and Budhi Tamang accompanied us to base camp (from Kathmandu, and their homes in the Rolwaling region) as a logistics coordinator (fixer)/translator and cook, respectively. -
