Jannu
(now officially known as Kumbhakarna) lies 11km to the West of the summit
of Kangchenjunga. Though lower, it is a very difficult peak, with a summit
pyramid that is steep on all sides. The first ascent and & quot; standard
& quot; route is a complex and difficult, though not extreme, route up the
Southeast Ridge, from the Yamatari Glacier. Neighboring peak Jannu East,
7468m, was unclimbed as of 1997.

On the
climbing side, no experience is necessary, however you must be familiar with
alpine environments and must understand the risks that camping and climbing
above the snowline pose. Previous Nepal or Pakistan trekking experience, or long
route hiking experience is desirable.
