Himalaya 2012: Ueli Talks Khumbu Climbs and Permits with Outside

Posted in Life Adventure on 26th April 2012

Everest FreddieSteck 04182012 Himalaya 2012: Ueli Talks Khumbu Climbs and Permits with OutsideOutside on-line has an fascinating write-up up today. It seems senior editor Grayson Schaffer ran into Ueli Steck and Freddie Wilkinson in the Khumbu Valley even though the two climbers were comforting in Pheriche while they wait to start off their climbs on Cholatse, Tawoche, and Ama Dablam. The duo had a lot to say about the restrictive climbing permit program Nepal and their plans for Everest as nicely.

In the write-up, Ueli and Freddie speak about the specifications of a climbing permit in the Himalayan nation. &nbspThose permits require climbers to descend a mountain along the same route that they go up and don’t permit teams to get inventive and try out different things. In some ways this prevents new routes from becoming opened and can make descents far more difficult than they need to be. They also took a bit of umbrage with the truth that most of the cash for the permits keep in Kathmandu and doesn’t make its way out to the Khumbu where the climbs truly take place. Ueli says that he frequently likes to retain the services of an extra Sherpa not since he requirements him but just to give him a job and guarantee that the money is spent in the area.

This permit question comes into play because Ueli is organizing to try Everest once he’s accomplished with his other three challenges. But what specifically he plans to do is not clear however. It would seem unlikely that he’ll simply go up the South Col route, but he’s trying to keep his cards shut to his chest. He may possibly try for a speed record or he could go for a traverse of some type, but for now we all have to wait to see what he has up his sleeve. He’ll have to climb within the restrictions of his permit nonetheless, or threat a 5-10 year ban from climbing in Nepal, one thing he surely does not want to risk.

Its a extremely interesting study and a single that I suggest. It aids to give some insights into the politics of climbing in these nations. It will also pique your interest on what Ueli and Freddie have in mind on Everest.
