Conquering the Heights of Pisang Peak: A Journey of Endurance

Pisang Peak, towering at an elevation of 6,091 meters, is a formidable mountain nestled in the Manang District of the Nepal Himalayas. This blog recounts our challenging expedition to conquer the summit of Pisang Peak, a test of physical and mental fortitude amidst the awe-inspiring Himalayan landscape.

Pisang Peak Climbing is one of the best trekking destinations in the Annapurna Region of Nepal. The peak towers above the small village of Pisang and measures 6091 meters in height.

Day 1: Arrival and Acclimatization

Our journey commenced with a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, followed by a scenic drive to Besisahar, the starting point of our trek. The initial day was dedicated to acclimatization, allowing us to adjust to the altitude and immerse ourselves in the rugged terrain. We spent the night at a local lodge in Besisahar, soaking in the tranquility of the surroundings.

Day 2-4: Trek to Pisang Peak Base Camp

The subsequent days were filled with arduous trekking through the captivating Annapurna region. Traversing suspension bridges and meandering along the Marsyangdi River, we journeyed through traditional Nepalese villages, each step bringing us closer to our goal. Despite the challenges, the panoramic vistas of snow-capped peaks and verdant valleys fueled our spirits.

On the fourth day, we reached the Pisang Peak Base Camp situated at an altitude of 4,380 meters. This camp served as our sanctuary as we readied ourselves for the impending ascent. Here, we rested, nourished our bodies with wholesome meals, and acclimatized to the high altitude conditions.

Day 5-7: Scaling Pisang Peak

The climb to Pisang Peak's summit tested our physical and mental resilience. Setting off early in the morning equipped with climbing gear and provisions, we tackled steep inclines and rocky terrain, relying on ropes and crampons for support.

As we ascended higher, the vistas grew more spectacular. The Himalayan panorama unfolded before us, revealing majestic peaks like Annapurna II and IV against a backdrop of unparalleled beauty. Though demanding, reaching the summit filled us with an unparalleled sense of achievement.

Day 8-10: Descent and Reflection

Following a brief sojourn at the summit, we commenced our descent. Navigating challenging terrain on our return journey was equally demanding but rewarding. Reaching back to base camp marked a moment of triumph and reflection on our accomplishments.

The subsequent day saw us retracing our steps back to Besisahar. The descent felt smoother as our bodies had acclimatized to the altitude. As we concluded our expedition and reminisced on our journey's challenges and triumphs, we were reminded of the resilience and camaraderie that defined this unforgettable experience.

Conclusion:

Conquering Pisang Peak was not merely about scaling heights but a testament to human endurance and determination amidst nature's grandeur. The journey instilled in us lessons of perseverance, teamwork, and the sheer joy of overcoming obstacles in pursuit of a shared goal.

That time on New Year's Day 2000 when, after a seven day climb, I reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Using the Imperial measurement system, it's 19,341 feet and as you can see, that's 5,895 meters above mean sea level. Had never climbed a mountain of any significant magnitude prior. Spent the previous two New Year's holiday weeks in New Orleans and needed a change from The Big Easy and Bourbon Street. That I got. Signed up, committed, and looked forward to that the entire year. Went with a fantastic organization out of Seattle called Alpine Ascents and had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. There is something about Mother Africa that immediately felt like home from the moment I arrived in Nairobi, Kenya two days before Christmas 1999. Cannot recommend enough doing something you have never done before far away from home on your own. You'll never feel more alive as you do when accomplishing something you're not sure you can do in a place you've never been before with strangers who become new friends. Anything is possible if you set your heart and mind to do it. It is also an act of defiance against those that wish to make your life small by acts of terror and fear mongering. Never let them beat you. Wishing everyone reading this a weekend full of living life and new experiences.

I was unable to post anything ( cell service has been horrible but today we came for a celebratory hike down the valley and I have full bars) and so today I have to share this. I am so happy to get this just now....i am emotional... and the legend #verntejas handed it to me. I am coming home, Jesus willing! Thank you to my husband Steve, my daughters Nicole and Patricia, and my grandchildren Ethan and Julia for supporting me! Love you and miss you!

Looking at the Golden autumn in Central Russia, our guide Sergey Nikiforov was inspired and found an autumn photos of Kamchatka-2007 expedition. And a short story from him: "I was on the Kamchatka Peninsula twice, the first time in the winter 11 years ago — we have made a winter ascent of the volcanoes Avacha and Kozelsky, and the second time in the summer. It so happened that I stepped foot in the hot springs near Mutnovsky volcano — I had two weeks to lie in a regional hospital in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. It caught me a delightful Kamchatka Golden autumn pictures which I did after my recovery, while waiting some weeks for a plane to Moscow. Kamchatka is a wonderful region with magnificent nature and friendly people. Highly recommend :-)"
