12 03 Chomolonzo North Face From Hoppo Camp Early Morning  [10 of 37]


The Chomolonzo northern wall was quite beautiful just after sunrise from our Hoppo campsite in the Kama Valley, with pinkish fog silhouetted along the bottom and the top glistening white in the early morning sun. Chomolonzo Main (7790m) is on the left, then Chomolonzo Central (7540m) and Chomolonzo North (7199m) on the far right. Lionel Terray and Jean Couzy were the first to climb Chomolonzo on October 30, 1954 on their Makalu reconnaissance.
