Coming from the Andes, I thought I understood high altitude, but Chhukung Ri taught me something different about the Himalayas. The thin, dry air combined with the sheer scale of the surrounding peaks made every step above 5,000 metres feel earned in a way I hadn’t experienced before. The summit itself is small and unassuming, yet the view it offers of the Lhotse wall and Ama Dablam is unforgettable.
Our small group set out well before dawn, and watching the first light hit the summit of Everest from that ridge was worth every cold, breathless minute of the climb. I’ve since recommended Chhukung Ri to several climbing friends back home as one of the best non-technical high-altitude viewpoints in the world.
