Hi!

Has one of you guys out there climbed the 6012m high Dhampus Peak in the Annapurna/Daulaghiri Area in Nepal? I think about trying this summit and wonder if anyone can give me some information about it. So far, I've just heard that it is not difficult, no climbing is necessary and no glaciers have to be crossed. Is that right? All you need is crumpon or is also a rope required?

Thank you, bye Jan

ANSWER: THE STAGE OF DIFFICULTY DEPENDS ON HOW FAST YOU CAN FOLLOW UP THE ROUTES, TAKEN BY THE PREVIOUS CLIMBERS HOW EXPERIENCED HIGH ALTITUDE WOKER YOU WOULD BE TAKING WITH YOU.

IT IS NOT THAT YOU REQUIRE CRAMPON AND ICE AXE, ROPE BUT YOU MUST HAVE A FULL MOUNTAINEERING CLIMBING EXPERIENCE INCLUDING USE OF EQUIPMENT SUCH AS OXYGEN, MAIN ROPES, SIDE ROPES AND SO ON. MOREOVER, PLEASE BE INFORMED THE EASIEST MOUNTAIN TO BE CLIMBED IN NEPAL IS THE EVEREST, WHERE YOU WILL HAVE ALL ROUTES, ROPES FIXED BY THE PREVIOUS CLIMBERS.

IF YOU WISH I CAN SUPPLY YOU THE COMPLETE INFORMATION SUCH AS ITINERARY/COST/SERVICES GIVEN AND SO ON.

SHOULD YOU FIND THE COST AS UNEXPECTED AND A VERY SURPRISING INFORMATION THEN YOU CAN ATTEMPT HIGHER PEAKS (BELONGING TO NMA) THAN DAMPUS AND HAVE LOWER ROYALTY WHERE YOUR UING OF CRAMPON/ICE AXE ROPES WILL BE AN ASSEST.

why is Dhampus $1000 ($1500 previously) when much higher/harder 'trekking' peaks are $350? Is it simply because it's so easy to do that the governmnet knows people will do it without a guide and there will be loss of revenue? I guess so. All about the cash. $1000 for a two day walk.
