MERA PEAK CLIMBING

 

Mera Peak - General Information

Mera Peak is located at the head of the quiet and remote Hinku valley, an area of the Mount Everest region rarely frequented by trekkers or visitors. There are many approaches to Mera; some are easy and some require the crossing of high and difficult passes.
 
South ridge is considered un-climbable, East and north faces almost so. Northeast ridge is a difficult mixed 1600 meters climb. West face is possible, so is north-west ridge, but access to Mera West glacier (Khare glacier) is difficult; either a 500 climb up an icefall or a 1,000 meter climb over west side ramparts to the glacial basin at 5,600 meters.

Amazing Fact !  Thousands of climbers have climbed "Mera Peak" in Nepal believing they have conquered the highest "Trekking Peak" of the Nepal Himalayas. Indisputable evidence shows they have missed their target by 8 km (5 miles) and climbed an easy nameless mountain almost 200m too low. 

The exact location for Mera is given in the list by Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation (MTCA), where the location for Mera Peak is North 27°46'27" and East 86°54'40". The location of False Mera where all the climbers have gone so far is North 27°42'24" and East 86°52'9". This can be checked from any map showing the latitude and longitude and the latest GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.
