Everything about Kawagebo totally explained
Kawagebo (or
Moirigkawagarbo,
Kawakarpo,
Kawa Karpo,
Ka-Kar-Po) is the highest mountain in
Yunnan,
China. It is visited by 20,000 pilgrims each year; many pilgrims circumambulate the peak, an arduous trek.
Climbing history
The first attempt on Kawagebo was made in 1987 by a party from the Joetsu Alpine Club of
Japan. In the winter of 1990-91 a group from the Academic Alpine Club of
Kyoto University attempted the peak in conjunction with a Chinese group. A nighttime avalanche killed all seventeen members of the expedition, in one of the most deadly mountaineering accidents in history. The Kyoto club returned in 1996 to make another unsuccessful attempt.
American expeditions, led by Nicholas Clinch, visited the range in 1988, 1989, 1992, and 1993, attempting other major peaks, but were unsuccessful. As of 2003, all of the significant peaks of the range were still unclimbed.
