Useful Info

Why Kangla Glacier in Summer?
While summer conditions make mountaineering difficult in much of Nepal, the Annapurna region—especially Manang and Kangla Glacier—remains ideal for training and climbing. Its unique geography, favorable weather, and drier climate offer rare opportunities to conduct serious alpine courses during Nepal’s monsoon season.

🌄 Unique Landscapes & Culture
Manang offers dramatically different landscapes compared to other parts of Nepal—high desert terrain, glacial valleys, and ancient villages rich in Tibetan-Buddhist culture—making this both a technical and deeply enriching Himalayan experience.

Equipment List

Helmet

A lightweight and secure helmet that protects against falling rocks, ice, and impacts. Must meet UIAA or CE safety standards for alpine use.

Alpine Harness

An adjustable alpine harness allows a secure fit over multiple layers, with adjustable waist belt and leg loops. A slightly thicker waist belt is recommended for better comfort and support during longer hanging or belaying. Lightweight and durable, it is essential for safe climbing and glacier travel.

Mountaineering Boot

Mountaineering boots are critical for performance and safety in high-altitude environments, offering insulation, protection, and precise support on snow, ice, and mixed terrain. All boots must be compatible with crampons and suitable for cold, technical conditions. Recommend using B3 category boots, which are fully rigid and designed for technical mountaineering.

For November to March, we strongly recommend double-layer high-altitude boots such as La Sportiva G2 Evo or G2 SM for optimal thermal protection. Advanced single-layer options like Scarpa Phantom 6000, La Sportiva Nepal, or Cube may be used depending on conditions and individual experience.

Crampons

Crampons provide essential traction on snow and ice, allowing safe movement in alpine terrain. For mountaineering, C2 (semi-automatic) crampons are recommended for versatility and stability. For Technical ice climbing, C3 (automatic) crampons are preferred, offering a rigid fit and maximum precision.

Recommended models include:
Petzl Vasak, Petzl Sarken, Black Diamond Sabretooth, Grivel G12 (mountaineering)
Petzl Lynx, Black Diamond Cyborg, Grivel G14 (ice climbing)

Ice Axe & Ice Climbing Tools

An ice axe is a key mountaineering tool used for balance, self-arrest, and climbing on snow and ice. It helps stop a fall, secure movement on steep slopes, and assist in step cutting when needed. For general mountaineering, a semi-technical ice axe is recommended, while a classic mountaineering axe is suitable for standard routes and training.

For more Technical terrain, Ice climbing tools are required. These are shorter and more curved, designed for steep and vertical ice, and used in pairs for better control and precision.

Carabiners

HMS Carabiner

A wide pear-shaped locking carabiner designed for belaying, rappelling, and tying a Munter hitch. Strong, secure, and essential for safe rope handling in climbing and mountaineering.

Required: 4 pcs

Jumar (Ascender)

A jumar is a mechanical climbing device used to ascend a rope. It features a cam that grips the rope when weighted, allowing safe and efficient movement on fixed ropes and steep terrain.

Jumars are designed specifically for left-hand and right-hand use, and it is important to use the correct one in each hand for proper technique and safety. Typically, climbers use one in each hand for balance and efficient upward movement during mountaineering and rope work.

Belay Device

A compact metal device used to control the rope during belaying or rappelling. It provides friction to safely manage a climber’s fall, lower a partner, or descend in a controlled manner. Suitable for both single and double ropes depending on the device type.

You may choose a device that you are most comfortable using, such as an ATC Guide (with guide mode) or a Figure of Eight.

8MM Rope

3 m long 8–9 mm dynamic rope for personal use, and a short rope for safety backup during jumaring and technical sections.

Prusik Rope 7mm

Prusik Rope – Small-diameter cord used for backup, ascending, self-rescue, or creating friction on a fixed rope. 5 meters around

Ice Screw

A tubular screw used to create secure anchors in ice for protection or belaying during climbing.

Size: 20–22 cm
Required: 1–2 pcs
Recommended Brands: Black Diamond, Petzl

Tape Sling

Durable webbing used to create anchors, extend protection, or secure yourself on rock or ice.
Instead of sling now 9mm rope also can use for anchor. 120CM Sling for Anchor
