beneath Himal Chuli ( 7893m)

Himalchuli ( Himal Chuli ) is the second highest mountain

 in the Mansiri Himal - lying south of Manaslu.

Himalchuli has three main peaks:

East ( 7893m ), West (7540m ) and North ( 7371m ).

Himalchuli is the 18th highest mountain in the world.

Himalchuli is also notable for its large vertical relief
 
- it rises 7000m over the Marsyangdi River to the southwest

 in about 27km / 17 miles horizontal distance.

Exploratory visits to the peak were made in 1950 and 1954

- a first attempt in 1955 failed.

Further reconnaissance and attempts followed in 1958 and 1959.

The first ascent was made in 1960,

by Hisashi Tanabe and Masahiro Harada, of Japan.

The route followed the "Sickle Ridge" from the southwest.

They first climbed to the saddle between the West and Main peaks,

 where they placed the last of six camps.

This ascent was somewhat unusual for a sub-8000m peak

 in using bottled oxygen.
