Established on the rubble-covered Mayangdi Glacier directly below the sheer northern precipice of Dhaulagiri.
Reached by ascending broken glacier ramps and moraines to gain the wide saddle of the Northeast Col.
Pitched on a protected snow terrace along the crest of the lower Northeast Ridge.
Carved into steep 45-degree hard ice slopes at the edge of the mountain's northern upper face.
The high assault camp positioned at the base of the upper ice shelves just inside the Death Zone.
A sustained 50° traverse across brittle blue ice shelves, followed by a steep couloir piercing the summit rock band.
The wind-sculpted snow summit of the White Mountain, the highest peak entirely in Nepal.
Total vertical rise from Base Camp (4,650m) directly to the summit crest.
DMS: 28°41′55″ N, 83°29′15″ 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.
