Most people don’t realize that if every glacier in the world melted we would go into another ice age this has happened several times in the past. When you put that much cold fresh water into our oceans it will totally choke out all the warm gulf streams that bring warm water up the Nothern Hemispheres.
Thank you for video. I was doing some research on trekking peaks for some time where less technical equipments is used and can be done solely with trekking. This looks to fit that category. I will find out more. But thank you again to make it more clear for me. When get enough experience with trekking and acclimatisation I will attempt this. I subbed.
Namaste Richard, thank you for your excellent informative video on Yala Peak in the Langtang region in Nepal. I am planning a similar trip in November. Do you have any local contacts I can reach out to for guiding/logistics? Thanks! Abhishek
Hello, thanks you for the compliment and encouragement. Baden Powell peak is royalty free, therefore I've always assumed no permit is required. Although, officially every mountain over 5,800m requires a permit, so maybe you do need a permit but it's free. Most maps are wrong! Naya Kanga is immediately west of the Ganja La, then Baden Powell peak the next top to the west again. The normal route looks like lots of steep glacier work. There's a good photo here: aac-publications.s3.amazonaws.com/aaj-13201212659-1531510047.jpg Hope that's useful, Rich.
hello thanks for an awesome video, i have a plan to climb this peak too! May i ask that in Kyanjin Gompa - 1. Is it possible to hire a local guide who can navigate to the top? and any recommend? 2. Can i rent rope, tent, sleeping bag or some technical equipment there?
Hello, thank you for watching and commenting. I did see that some shops in Kyanjin Gompa had tents and plastic mountaineering boots, presumably sleeping gear too, so yes, most gear can be rented. I carried all of my own gear from the road, a pack weight of 15kg (boots, crampons, ice axe, tent, sleeping bag & mat). I didn't carry stove or food, I just bought cake for dinner ;o) I'm sure not about finding a guide at Kyanjin Gompa, I'm sure if you ask around and offer enough money then you'll find someone to join you, but you're better off organising that with a trekking agency before you start the trek. If you're well acclimatised, you can complete the Yala Peak ascent in a long day from Kyanjin Gompa negating the need to camp. Hope that helps, Rich.
I'm planning to do solo climb this late January. I had couple of questions if u don't mind 1. What gears should I take or can I rent them from kyjan gompa ? 2. since I'm doing solo will it be possible to get a guide from kyjan gompa for the summit day ? 3. How about cost during the trek. I'd be pleased if you kindly reply.
I have a question. in November (18), the peak looks like absolutely dry. what about spring (mid march to mid may) to climb ! what your experience say ?
Hi, correct, the peak was very dry in Nov 2018, and that seems to be the case late in the season every year. The conditions are very much dependent on recent weather - I have hears mid-March can have snow, but also heard mid-March can be dry too.
Hello, the equipment you need will be dependent on conditions at the time. But, typically in late October Yala Peak is dry i.e. no snow, meaning you probably will not need technical equipment like ice axes and crampons, however, no-one can guarantee the conditions. You will likely need camping equipment, it is possible to climb Yala Peak in a return day-trip from Kyanjin Gompa, however, it's a long day and I certainly recommend camping for a night in the high Himalaya. You should be able to rent a tent/sleeping bag & mat in Kyanjin Gompa if you ask around the shops. I carried all of my own gear in from the road including mountaineering boots, crampons and ice axe, maybe 15kg total. Hope that helps, enjoy your adventure, Rich.
@@richard_pattison Thank you for the reply. We did camp on yala high camp but we were unable to figure out a way past the glacier and had to return back. But it was great view from chergo Ri. Tje whole trek was worth it even without reaching yala summit.
@@jenishmaharjan1997 Did you guys rented the equipments ( tents, sleeping bags) from Kyanjin Gompa or carried it all the way from the beginning. We are planning to trek to yala peak this October end.
Hi, well, I recommend you gain some experience at altitude first so you know how your body copes and to identify potential altitude sickness symptoms - that's very important when you're by yourself. It's also important to gain experience in navigation & route finding because the trail is not maintained or officially marked. Plus, you'll need to make judgement decisions on weather and other conditions. But, having said all of that, in normal conditions Yala Peak is basically a walk with little technical challenge, so it is possible for a beginner to undertake the challenge and return safely. I do encourage you to gain experience with others first though. Hope that's useful advice, good luck, Rich.
Me, as a Nepali is trying to make whole world aware for the fact that climate change is freaking real. But unfortunately, most of the Americans, a citizens of Superpower nation, I've met or talked to do not believe it.

Do you have idea about baden powell peak? does it require any permit to climb BP peak?

I have one question. Is it possible for a beginner to climb alone? (38 year old male)
Hi, well, I recommend you gain some experience at altitude first so you know how your body copes and to identify potential altitude sickness symptoms - that's very important when you're by yourself.
