A team of rope-fixing Nepali climbers reached above Camp IV on Mount Manaslu this afternoon, opening a climbing route as hundreds of climbers prepare for a final summit push on the world’s eighth-highest mountain, the Expedition Operators Association Nepal said.
At least four Sherpa climbers left for Camp III from the base camp this evening to support the rope-fixing team in expediting the route-opening task to the summit of Mt Manaslu.
At least 466 foreign climbers, along with over 500 climbing guides, are all set to begin their final summit push on the world's eighth-highest peak this week, after a strong team of rope-fixing climbers prepares to open a climbing route to the top of Mt Manaslu in a day or two, expedition operators said.
