Established on the grassy moraines of the Miristi Khola beneath the colossal glaciated amphitheatre.
Located on the lower ablation zone of the North Annapurna Glacier among frozen rubble.
Positioned at the base of the steep headwall below the colossal Sickle ice formation.
Placed on an icy terrace directly beneath colossal hanging ice seracs shaped like a curved sickle.
The high assault camp perched on a rock and snow spur above the main avalanche runout zones.
A sustained 50°-55° snow and blue ice gully cutting between the North Face rock bands to the summit crest.
The sharp snow ridge marking the summit of the world's tenth-highest peak, the first 8,000er ever climbed.
Established on the floor of the glacial amphitheatre surrounded by towering 7,000- and 8,000-metre peaks.
Situated on the lower lateral moraine directly beneath the central apron of the South Face.
Steep 50-degree ice slopes funnelling falling stones and loose snow into narrow couloirs.
Perched on a narrow ice terrace beneath the prominent rock buttress.
Sustained Grade V and VI mixed climbing on loose yellow and grey limestone bands.
Near-vertical mixed rock and brittle water ice gullies cutting through the overhanging summit wall.
Total vertical rise from Base Camp (4,150m) directly to the summit crest.
DMS: 28°35′46″ N, 83°49′13″ E. Verified against alpine geodesy baselines.
The vertical drop to the lowest contour encircling the peak with no higher summit inside it.
Surrounded by lateral moraines, active icefalls, and high glaciated ridges feeding regional river systems.
Topographic Architecture of Annapurna I
Annapurna I, at 8,091 meters (26,545 ft), is the tenth-highest mountain in the world and historically the first 8,000-meter peak ever summited (June 3, 1950 by Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal). Rising above the Annapurna Sanctuary, its north and south walls present extreme avalanche and serac fall hazards.
