Annapurna Region Peak
Singu Chuli
Singu Chuli (6,501m) was formerly known as Fluted Peak. The first ascent of
this peak was made by Wilf Noyce and David Cox on its North-East Face and the
top section of the East Ridge. This mountain has proven to be very difficult
to climb for most commercial climbing groups who have tried to concentrate on
Tent Peak.
Singu Chuli is the first summit on the long ridge thrown down from Tarke Kang
(Glacier Dome), which separates the South and West Annapurna Glaciers.
Annapurna South Base Camp provides the best distant view of the mountain. To
date, apart from the original route, most efforts to climb this mountain have
concentrated on the face and ridges seen from this viewpoint. The southwest
ridge of the mountain connects with Tent Peak. The terrain between the two
mountains is a confusing one and the ridge is not straight.
