PEAK CLIMBING
Singu Chuli
21 days
Singu Chuli is the mountain formerly known as Fluted Peak. A few days after enjoying that view of “ Fluters”, Wilf Noyce and David Cox went on to make the first ascent of this attractive and difficult mountain up its Northeast Face and across the top section of the East Ridge. Despite the relative ease of access to the Sanctuary this mountain has proven too difficult for most commercial climbing groups who prefer to concentrate on Tent. During the approach to the Sanctuary and upon reaching the simple lodges at Machhapuchhare Base Camp little can be seen of the mountain, which is toward the head of the valley, cradling the West Annapurna Glacier. It is the first summit on the long ridge thrown down from Tarke Kang (Glacier Dome), which separates the South and West Annapurna Glaciers.
