Hiunchuli Peak
Hiunchuli peak lies in the Annapurna
range and it is connected to Annapurna South. Discovered by
Col. Jimmy Roberts, it is one of the three major trekking
peaks within the Annapurna Sanctuary. An American Peace Corps
Expedition, under the leadership of Craig Anderson first conquered
the Hiunchuli summit in October 1971. Although it is easy
to reach the mountain and the popular Annapurna Sanctuary,
the actual ascent of Hiunchuli is considered as one of the
most difficult climb among all trekking peaks. Although it
is not extremely difficult in climbing technique, this route
is exposed to endangered rock fall and it is difficult to
find the route. The exact route to the summit is not well
known. The ascent by the northwest face has been attempted
only by a very few climbers and was not always succeed. The
common approach is ascending from the Annapurna Base Camp
in the Sanctuary.
