 Chulu
Far East is the second eastern summit of Chulu, which
has two each on the east and west. There's the
climbing itself, which is brilliant if you know how to
work in snow and ice, and unafraid of crossing
crevassed glaciers. Then there is the view around you.
In the theatre of the Annapurna, Chulu East looks out
onto Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Annapurna II, III and V,
Gangapurna, and Tilicho. Your way down offers a rare
chance to trek up to the stunning Tilicho lake (4,920
m) and descend via the challenging,
off-the-tourist-trail Mesokanto La (5,200 m) complete
with icefall, glaciers, and deserted pastures
