Description

Singu Chuli, or Fluted Peak (6,501 m), stands in Nepal’s Annapurna massif on the ridge between Tarke Kang and Tharpu Chuli. Its trekking-peak label does not imply a walking route: climbing involves glaciers and technical snow and ice. Noyce and Cox made the first ascent via the northeast face and east ridge in 1957. An American Alpine Journal historical correction places the Ghilini–MacIntyre–Porter team’s 1982 traverse on the south ridge, rather than a west-face ascent. Expedition sources also document retreat below the summit because of dangerous cornices; operator itineraries should be read as proposals.

Trip Himalaya approaches via Machhapuchhre Base Camp and the South Annapurna Glacier, then glacier camps below the northeast face. Steep climbing gains the upper east ridge and summit. The camp elevations below describe that operator’s itinerary, not permanent sites or current navigation instructions.

South ridge — historical traverse

D (historical AAJ estimate)

The historical approach passes Tharpu Chuli to gain the south ridge and Singu Chuli’s summit. This 1982 traverse record is not navigation guidance or a current conditions assessment.

Climbing Experiences

Three additional historical expedition records complement the existing firsthand retreat account, video and four operator guides. Evidence includes a south-ridge traverse and unsuccessful attempts; expedition outcomes are distinguished from commercial itineraries. Historical accounts do not describe current route conditions.
