Chulu Far East Peak Climbing – Thabo Khumalo, South Africa
Growing up in South Africa, I spent my life exploring national parks and table mountains, but snow and glaciers were entirely foreign to me. Chulu Far East was my first true high-altitude mountaineering expedition. The transition from the arid, Tibetan-like landscapes of Manang to the gleaming white expanses of the upper mountain was surreal. I’ll never forget learning how to walk in crampons and self-arrest with an ice axe. The final ridge climb tested every ounce of my stamina, but the reward—a 360-degree spectacle of giant Himalayan peaks—was beyond anything I’ve ever witnessed in Africa. It proved to me that as long as you respect the mountain, any horizon is reachable.
