Pokalde peak
is one of the easy trekking peaks for climbing which can be
combined
with Everest base camp trek. From Lobuche the peak looks interesting
rising to the south of Kongma La (5,535m.) and the summit
of the peak provides a good view point for the panoramic views
of the Himalayas.
The peak can be approached from either Bibre or Dughla. These
two routes provide several ways to approach the peak: North
Ridge, North East Face, North West Face, South Face etc.
For Bibre route, we will follow Everest trekking trail up
to Tsuro Og and trek to Yarsa. Base camp will be set up near
the lakes beneath the Kongma La. We climb to a rugged pass
and follow beautiful snow ridge and cross rocky pinnacles.
We continue following the ridge to a little more difficult
climb through stones and finally to the narrow rocky summit.
The North East Face of the mountain from east of Kongma
La could be the easiest way to get to the summit. We climb
up through broken rocks and snow to the summit ridge and then
to the summit.
