Phapchermo (6187m)

Phapchermo peak (6187m/20298ft) was first climbed in 1955. This is a relatively attractive snow peak, which lies due south of Tashi Lapcha. It has a well defined north by north-west ridge rising from the crevassed glacier astride the Tashi Lapcha. To the west of the ridge the face forms a uniform snow slope broken by crevasses and seracs rising from the rocky lower buttresses above the Drolambau glacier. Access to Phapchermo is mainly through the Rolwaling valley. For most of the 1980's this route was closed due to the potential dangers which could be causes to the porters crossing the Tashi Lapcha. The only other route from the Khumbu side via Namche Bazaar and Thame. Now the Rolwaling valley has once again been opened for trekking. The journey through Rolwaling takes one climbing a peak or two and crossing a high glaciated Pass followed by a descent and a return trek through new country. The trip through the Rolwaling valley is truly considered an exhilarating "mountaineering adventure".
