After
mankind conquered both the Antarctic and Arctic
in the 20th century, explorers turned their
attention to the Tibetan Plateau. For millennia
this land of majestic mountains was shrouded
in mystery and beyond the reach of most aspiring
mountaineers.
The "Roof of the World" is a world
of mountains posing ever-changing challenges
to mountaineers who always want to scale new
heights or climb mountains that have been
climbed before or by different routes.
In recent years, the region has sponsored
programs such as multi-national joint climbing,
straight-line approach, climbing without oxygen
supplies, speed climb and solitary climb.
Difficult approaches and harsh climate have
been chosen to test the extreme limits of
human endurance.
In order to accommodate the needs of mountaineers
from around the world, a number of mountain
peaks have been open to international climbers
since 1980.
The towering mountains of Tibet are increasingly
popular with mountaineers who wish to test
their strength and spirit and transcend the
limits imposed by nature on human endeavor.
The Tibetan Plateau has an average altitude
of over 4,000 meters with many world-famous
mountain ranges renowned for their elevation,
relative young age and spectacular scenery.
In the Himalayan Range alone, there are over
50 peaks with elevations of more than 7,000
meters and 11 peaks above 8,000 meters.
There are many mountain peaks in Tibetan Plateau
that remain untouched by man's footsteps.
The 7,782 meter Namjagbarwa Peak was once
the highest to be scaled by man. The face
of the peak was so steep that efforts by a
team of Chinese and Japanese mountaineers
in 1991 ended in failure and a number of deaths.
But this did not deter another team of Chinese
and Japanese climbers who conquered this virgin
peak in October 1992 with 11 of them reaching
the summit.
