KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 6
At least two climbers successfully scaled a mountain in the far western region.
According to Chhang Dawa Sherpa, Expedition Director at Seven Summit Treks, record holding climber Lakpa Sherpa from Makalu and Johannes Lau from Germany stood atop Putha Hiuchuli on November 2 at around 12:40pm.
"We have scaled the 7246-metre peak despite facing a harsh weather condition," Lakpa, who set record on Mt Makalu, said.
As there were more than 18 climbers attempting the peak, only two made it to the top of Putha Hiuchuli, Sherpa shared. Earlier, Sherpa scaled Mt Makalu for the third time in 16 days becoming the only climber to make the most ascent of 8485-metre peaks in a single season in 2022.
