 As
far as measurement goes it is the third highest mountain in the world, and sits
astride the Nepal/Sikkim border only a few miles from Tibet. It was first climbed
by G.Band, Evans &J. Brown in 1955. In keeping with its name "five treasure
houses of the great snows" the Kanchenjunga Himal is a grand collection of
shapely spires. It is unique in as much as it is buttressed north and south as
well as east and west by mountains of equal stature. This multi-topped massif
comprises of four summits. Main Summit, Middle Summit, South Summit & Yalung
Kang or West Summit, each one measuring over eight thousand meters. As way back
s 1848/49 one of the greatest of British botanists. J.D. Hooker, made two commendable
trips to make an almost complete circuit of the Kanchenjunga range. The came within
twenty two kms of the peak itself. But it was only in 1955, more than a century
later, that a British expedition finally made its summit. There are four different
routes to the mountain peak with both its south and east side providing opportunities
for new routes. It is believed that the east flank of the South Summit is by far
the most difficult face route.
