Artisonraju Add-ons - 6025 m
Dates Scheduled Upon Request
SE Face: Artisonraju's pyramid summit towers high above the Paron Valley, situated in a cirque of steep and snowy peaks, many of which are considered the area's more difficult summit endeavors. A two day approach to high camp, located on the Paron glacier, sets your climbing team close to the rise of Artison's 600 meter face. The climb is a consistent 60-70 degree snow and ice ascent, providing challenges in both endurance and technical skill.
