Difficulty easy non technical. final part to true summit is an airy and  sometimes dangerous walk on a knife edge mountain lying in Tibet and was popularized after Chinese opened Tibet to the western summiteers in 1978 A.D. The Tibetans regard it as the holy mountain. The North West Ridge (normal route) to Sishapangma takes us up easy angled snow slopes up to 35 degrees with one steeper section. The supporter climber (SHERPA) will fix and placed necessary fixed rope on the steeper or crevassed sections. The climbers have to enter in Nepal then drive to BC via Zhangmu. And the Yaks transport our expedition gear from Base camp to ABC at 5,400m. Three further camps will be place on-route to the summit.
