Makalu is remarkable and it has a structure of a perfect pyramid with four sharp ridges making this mountain even more impressive for Makalu climbing.

The Makalu Expedition is challenging and technical, yet it is one attractive and striking mountain that mesmerises the climbers with its exquisiteness. The Mountain has steep pitches and knife-edged ridges completely open to the surroundings. The ascent of the summit pyramid also calls for technical rock or ice climbing making the climb quite a challenging one. Popular among mountaineering people, Mt. Makalu Expedition is one of the most difficult mountains in the world to climb due to its geographical isolation and difficult climatic conditions, usually causing mountain sickness. In 1954, the first attempt on Mt. Makalu was made by an American team led by William Siri. The French team that did the first ascent in 1955 climbed the north face and northeast ridge that set up today’s standard route and placed nine climbers on the summit. Earlier, summits were accomplished by one or two people hence in group; this was quite a remarkable success in such a difficult peak.
