Amphu Labsta La

Post trail update

See the Trail Notes page or this Google sheet for an updated description of this leg.

5,845m, D031 - Amphu Labsta La is reportedly one of the most dangerous passes in Nepal, and certainly the most technical point on our trek. Climbing a steep icefall will require full climbing safety gear, and the descent is just as tricky with a 30m rappel.
