Experiences and Difficulties of Mera Peak Climbing
Mera Peak is quite high but overall it is believed to be a flexible peak for mountaineering skills development and warm-up for climbing other mountains. It has less technical complexity but demands a high level of energy, stamina, and endurance. The 6476m/21,247 ft elevation of Mera Peak enables you to cope with high altitude, altitude sickness possibilities and causes, extreme weather conditions, snowy paths, and climbing skills. It is technically achievable in comparison to other 6000m/ 19,685ft trekking peaks in Nepal. The climb was Alpine Grade F (Facile/ Easy), but due to recent summit block changes, the final 30-40 meters /98ft – 131 ft has become Grade PD (Peu Difficile, little difficult / not very hard).
Additionally, there is no particular point that is difficult but night climbing through glaciers might be tough for the new one and a learning process to handle long night climbing. For experienced climbers, it is a technically straightforward ascent which is crucial for acclimatization. One also needs to take care of your hydration and maintain a manageable pace. Experience in snow, glaciers, and ice would be a great advantage though the Nepal Adventure Team will be aiding and guiding you. However, trekkers require basic alpine skills and be comfortable moving on a man rope, clipping in, crampons, and walking axes. It is the peak where one can execute the learned techniques but never test themselves at high altitudes. It is famous as it can be adopted with little or no mountaineering experience.
