Langtang Lirung 7234m Expedition
One of the most important mountains at the Central Nepalese Himalaya, Langtang Lirung, also called Langtang I, is the highest peak of the Langtang range.
Situated to the directly North of Kathmadu, the Langtang Himal, is readily accesible, but in a complex range. Its western border is marked by the Bhote Kosi (later on known as the Trisuli), beyond which rises the Ganesh Himal. To the east it is connected to the Jugal Himal, to the Northeast to the big massif of Shisha Pangma, while to the immediate north the Lende Tsangpo forms the natural border with Tibet.
Langtang Lirung itself is a bulky mountain with a 10 km long west to east running ridge that culminates at its eastern end in the actual summit. From there the south face drops steeply for 2200 meters to the floor of a giant circuit, from which the Lirung Glacier issues. Towards the western end of the long ridge, there is a significant notch, beyond which, it raises the shapely peak of Chenge Lirung (6581m), which is also known as Langtang II. It was first- climbed in 1963 by the Canadian Peter Taylor.
This mountain is a serious challenge for adventurous, because it is either technically very difficult (the west ridge), subject to a good deal of objective dangers (the East Ridge), or both (the south face).
