Manaslu means mountain of the spirit. It is where most of our Everest climbers first learn how their body behaves above eight thousand metres.
We reach base camp from Samagaon after a flight to the village of Sama, and climb the Northeast Face over broad glaciers and a few steep steps of ice. Four camps, oxygen from Camp III, and a true summit reached along a short and airy ridge.
The autumn season is short and settled. Fewer teams, warmer days and long views to Tibet.
