Mt. Baruntse 7129 meters snow peak lies in the heart of Everest region surrounded by some of the famous peaks of the world, Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu, Chamlang, Ama dablam and Mera peak in Nepal. It is also one of the few peaks of this height with a high rate of success of ascent on normal route. The approach to the mountain follows the Mera Peak trek up to Mera La and then to Baruntse base camp (5,250m). The route is not technically demanding and essentially a straightforward climbing on snow and ice with some sections of over hangings. Normally, two high camps are established above the base camp for Baruntse climbing. The camp I is set up just below East Col. at an altitude of 5,700m and the camp II is on the South East Ridge at a height of 6,420m.
