42 Mount Kailash East And North Faces And Jagged Shama Ri East Ridge From Just Beyond Dirapuk On Mount Kailash Outer Kora [42 of 72]

The trail from Dirapuk crosses a bridge and follows a broad shelf above the Dolma Chu. After only 30 minutes a perfect view of the start of the Mount Kailash East Face comes into to the east of the North Face. The north side of the sharp jagged ridge called Shama Ri, extends to the east of Mount Kailash. This ridge represents the 18 Hells: 8 Cold, 8 Hot, and 2 Trial Hells. Its treacherous appearance serves as a sober reminder to pilgrims that hell exists and perhaps looks like this. A short truncated glacier with a small but distinct terminal, lateral, and medial moraines descends from the rocky eastern arm of the east and north faces of Kailash, down through the Polung Valley between the Avalokiteshvara (Tib. Chenrezig) and Manjushri (Tib. Jampelyang) peaks.
