Mt. Dhaulagiri Expedition
(8157m) |
 |
|
Dhaulagiri; name is derivative from Sanskrit "Dhavala"
means "White" and giri is "Mountain" The Mountain was displayed
by British surveyors in India in the early 1800s and was mapped
by one of the secret Indian evaluator.
After four more expeditions had failed, eight members of a Swiss
expedition conquered the summit in 1960. The Swiss expeditor
first ascended Dhaulagiri in 1960. The climb followed a
roundabout route around the mountain from Tukuche, over Dhampus
pass as French Col, to approach the summit from the North-East
Col.
Tragedy struck in 1969 when an avalanche killed seven members of
a US expedition on the East Dhaulagiri Glacier. The Japanese in
1970s, the Americans in 1973 and the Italians in 1976 summited. |
