Once you fix the lines on the north col, the Kanchenjunga Expedition can begin in earnest. Next is the process of setting up three camps on the extended and difficult North Ridge. On the Kanchenjunga Expedition Sherpa support and oxygen will assist you in a methodically motion as you make headway higher up the mountain. The Kanchenjunga Expedition is an exceptionally captivating climb for proficient mountaineers.
