AT 6070M LAMOSHE IS A SICHUAN-TIBET ALPINE CLIMBING TEST PIECE FOR GREATER THINGS. ALL THE OBSCURITY OF A FULL EXPEDITION, SIMPLE ACCESS, ROUTE OPTIONS SPANNING THE EASY TO THE HARDCORE, THIS IS A GOOD 6000M PEAK FOR ANY WANTING TO AVOID THE CIRCUS OF THE KHUMBU OR MAKE THE LEAP TO INDEPENDENT EXPEDITIONS.
AS PART OF OUR EXPED CONTINUUM WE USE LAMOSHE TO WORK OUT ACCLIMATIZATION, ALPINE AND TECH CLIMBING ELEMENTS WE WILL TAKE TO THE KARAKORUM. THIS IS THE PLACE TO TRY OUT HIGH ALTITUDE GEAR, FAST & LIGHT TECHNIQUES AND UNSUPPORTED METHODS BEFORE COMMITTING TO BIGGER, LESS FORGIVING PEAKS.
WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE OF TOWN, LAMOSHE IS DOABLE WITH STRIPPED DOWN LOGISTICS, ARRIVING IN GOOD CONDITION AND MINIMIZING SOME OF THE APPROACH RISKS COMMON TO MANY 6000M PEAKS ELSEWHERE, IE CRAZY DRIVERS, NASTY HOTELS, LONG FOOT APPROACHES. THIS TRANSLATES TO MORE CLIMBING TIME ON-MOUNTAIN AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE ATHLETIC ROUTES.
