Himalchuli (7893m)
5Himalchuli se alza a 7893 metros en Nepal, parte de Himalayas, Asia. Este pico se clasifica como Fold Mountain.
Himalchuli is the second-highest peak of the Mansiri Himal in west-central Nepal, rising to 7,893 metres just south of its loftier neighbour Manaslu. Its three principal summits stand above steep, heavily glaciated faces that shed frequent avalanches, giving the mountain a reputation for serious, committing climbing. It is a Himalayan fold peak, first ascended in 1960. The site rates it grade 5, an extreme classification that usually demands supplemental oxygen. Though it stands among the twenty highest mountains on Earth, it draws few attempts, kept quiet by its difficulty and by the shadow of the far more famous Manaslu close at hand.
