Pumori ((ネパール語:पुमोरि)) (or Pumo Ri) is a mountain on the Nepal-Tibet border in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. Pumori lies just eight kilometres west of Mount Everest. Pumori, which means "Unmarried Daughter" in the Sherpa language, was named by George Mallory.〔 Climbers sometimes refer to Pumori as "Everest's Daughter". Pumori is a popular climbing peak and the easiest route is graded class 3, although with significant avalanche danger. Pumori was first climbed on May 17, 1962 by Gerhard Lenser on a German-Swiss expedition.〔 Two Czechs (Leopold Sulovský and Zdeněk Michalec) climbed a new route on the south face in the spring of 1996.〔 An outlier of Pumori is Kala Patthar (5,643m/18,513'), which appears as a big brown bump below the impressive south face of Pumori. Many trekkers going to see Mount Everest up close will attempt to climb to the top of Kala Patthar. ==Trekking and mountaineering Pumori== Nearly 500 people had summited Pumori by 2005, at a cost of 42 lives.〔(The new Cho Oyu: Pumori )〕 It was noted for its increasing popularity by 2008, with such features as being able to use the Everest base camp for Nepal (when its occupied that is) when trekking or climbing Pumori and offering solid views of Tibet, Nepal and Everest.〔 However, there has been some dangers from avalanches including some Spanish climbing teams that took heavy losses (such as in 1989 and 2001),〔 and the 2015 avalanche, though it was likely triggered by the 2015 Earthquake, is said to have originated from the Pumori-Lingtren ridge.〔 Noted Ascents: * 1962 FA by Gerhard Lenser of a German-Swiss expedition. * 1974 ''West Face'' new route by Alpine Club Unpo, Japan, summit reached by Minoru Takagi and Nobuyaki Kaneko on Oct 13.〔 * 1986 ''East Face'' new route by Hiroshi Aota and Yoshiki Sasahara (Japan) over three days, summiting on December 3.〔 * 1986 ''1985 Catalan Route'' on East Face, solo by Todd Bibler, summit reached December 5.〔 * 2002 Three women (Leila Bahrami, Mitra Nazari, and Farhondeh) from an Iranian expedition reached the summit on October 20 via the southeast face to the east ridge. The Sherpas twice stopped opening the route to the team as they did not expect the women to manage the difficulties.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pumori」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
