| Mardi Himal Peak 5,587m |
 Less
than fifteen miles north of Pokhara, as the crow
flies, this mountain is the most southerly of
the Annapurna range. From some viewpoints it
seems little more than an outlier on the southwest
flank of Machhapuchhare. Mardi Himal is the lowest
and perhaps least climbed or visited of the trekking
peaks. Once again it was Col. Jimmy Roberts who,
with two Sherpas, climbed to the summit by a
route on its East Flank in 1961. The normal route
of ascent reaches a col from a glaciated amphitheatre
that rises above a hidden plateau; the 'Other
Sanctuary', as Roberts calls it. Although another
route has been made on the southwest Face, Roberts'
route is the only recorded line and the one used
on most subsequent ascents. Obviously, the peak
has commanding view of the Annapurna ranges and
undoubtedly a spectacular one of Machhapuchhare
the "Himalayan Matterhorn," better
known as Fish Tail Peak. Few westerners visit
the valleys and ridges south of Mardi Himal.
They are steep sided and heavily wooded with
bamboo and rhododendron. Above the forest high
alpine pastures provide good grazing and a habitat
for undisturbed wildlife. Despite it lowly altitude
the mountain obviously has a great deal of potential
for those interested in small-scale exploratory
mountaineering and the ridges, already mentioned,
present obvious climbing challenges at a reasonable
standard. |
