South Face

5B | TD+/ED1 | V/VI Edit route
The South Face of Chamlang is a major alpine objective in the Mahalangur Himal and is documented as a serious technical route rather than a trekking line. It is a steep Himalayan face with sustained mixed and snow climbing, objective avalanche danger, and significant altitude exposure. Conditions on the face can vary greatly with season and snowfall, and route-finding may be complex. The route is typically attempted in expedition style with high camps or bivouacs on the mountain. It is considered a demanding climb for experienced alpinists with strong ice, mixed, and high-altitude skills. Exact timings and route statistics are not consistently documented in widely available sources.
