Shishapabgma
Its Sanskrit name is "Gosainthan".
Reinhold Messner called it "an exquisite
apparition". Indeed, it is Emerging out
of the earth-brown Tibetan plateau a
solitary snow goddess rearing its
not-so-ugly head out to be admired. It
was first climbed by H. Ching and Nine
Climbers in 1664. This 'exquisite
apparition' is located in central
Himalaya and lies totally within Tibet.
To the east lies Mount Molamenchen to
the west Mount Xifeng and Mount
Nandengri and to the northwest Mount
Kangbochen. Shishapabgma, "the range
above the grassy plain" was first
climbed by the Chinese in 1964. There
are three distinct climbing routes on
the Southwest face with several other
logical possibilities on the West Ridge
and East face. Our route picks up from
Nyalam, 33km from the border, up to the
Chinese base camp at an altitude of
about 5000-5400m. The trek to BC takes
about three to five days via the Nyanang
Phu Chu valley.
