Dhaulagiri,
whose name means White Mountain, is the seventh highest mountain in the world.
An enormous Himalayan massif, Dhaulagiri is located in north central Nepal and
is the highest mountain located entirely within Nepal. After its discovery by
the western world in 1808, it replaced Ecuador's Chimborazo (20,561 ft.) as the
postulated highest mountain in the world. It maintained this standing for nearly
30 years, until the discovery of Kanchenjunga (28,169 ft.), which was then falsely
believed to be the world's highest mountainDhaulagiri's crest stretches for 30
miles, lending structure to an otherwise tangled topography of twisting ridges,
glaciers, and ice falls. Along the main crest, several pyramid-shaped peaks rise.
Four of these summits, numbered from east to west, rise above 25,000 feet.
The
First Climb To Dhaulagiri
In 1960, the Swiss/Austrian expedition who first
reached the summit did so despite their airplane having crashed during the approach.
This was the first Himalayan climb supported by an airplane, although the plane
was subsequently abandoned on the mountain.

P. Diener, M. Dorji, E. Forrer, A. Schelbert & N. Dorji in 1960. This mountain

is buttressed by five ridges and even up until the early 1980's only the Northeast
ridge had been successfully climbed. Dhaulagiri is considered the most interesting
peak among the eight thousanders. Today there are more than six different routes
established with variations, and the possibility of more.
