Singu Chuli (AKA Fluted Peak), 6501m
Singu Chuli lies to the North of Tharpu Chuli along a connecting
ridge. This mountain is a much stiffer proposition than Tharpu Chuli,
and is the highest of all the trekking peaks in the area. There are no
straight forward routes up the mountain.
The normal approach is a day
or two beyond Machapuchare Base Camp (the last buildings or people you
are likely to see until your return), and has the remotest feel of all
the trekking peaks in the area. It is often climbed after an
acclimatisation ascent of Tharpu Chuli.
