Welcome:
Nepal Island Peak
( 6189 m.) Climbing Page
Island peak is one of the most popular trekking peak in Nepal.
Perhaps the name of peak is so
because from Dingboche the peak is seen as an island in a sea of ice. The summit is
interesting and attractive with a highly glaciated west face rising from the Lhotse
Glacier. The ridge rising to the south from this point leads to the summit of
Island Peak. The extension of this ridge descending southwest is the part of the
normal route of ascent and leads to the south Summit.
Imja Tse,
another name of the same Island Peak does not
only provide an enjoyable climb but also provides some of the most spectacular
scenery of Himalayas in the Khumbu region. View from the summit are Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse (8,501m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410m) and
Lhotse Shar (8,383m) make a semi circle in the north. The views of Makalu
(8475m) in the east, Baruntse and Amadablam in the south add much more charming
bonus in
climbing Island Peak (Imjatse).
The normal route:
The base camp of Island Peak lies in Chukung Valley, between Island Peak and
the lateral moraine of the Imja Glacier. Proper care should be taken to avoid
the possible avalanche in the event of heavy snowfall.
From the base camp, a well-acclimatized party in good
conditions can make the summit and return to the base camp in a day. However,
most of the climbers prefer alpine style camping at high camp, which adds the
joy of climbing and helps a safe ascent. From the base camp the route skirts
southeast around and base of Imja Tse and climbs steep grassy slopes and small
rocky steps. We scramble up on open gully which leads between two ridges to the
site of high camp on at 5, 280m.
From the high camp, the lefts hand ridge scramble across the
broad open gully. After crossing a gully a steep snow and ice ramp leads upward
for nearly 100 meters to the summit ridge. Climbing near the summit is a little
difficult due to steep climbing.
