The initial phase involves using fixed ropes to cross a marked route to the moraine ridge on the opposite side. From there, a gradual climb takes you to a flat rock plateau near the glacier's start, where Camp I is established.
From Camp I, you'll ascend a steep moraine slope to reach the glacier. This upward journey is also aided by fixed ropes. Moving beneath a cliff, you'll access the glacier's surface below Himlung, where Camp II is set up on a wide plain around 6,100 meters.
The summit phase, which begins at night, is lengthy. Starting by following the glacier in front of the connecting ridge's southern side from the lower summit towards Himlung, overcoming a gap in the ridge and a 100-meter ascent to the ridge is necessary. Depending on the conditions, a fixed rope might be needed in this area. Following the ridge, the ascent continues up the steep 900-meter-high slope with an approximately 40-degree incline. Steeper sections with a 50-degree incline are secured using fixed ropes. Around 7,000 meters, the climb becomes gentler, leading to a traverse to Himlung Himal's 7,126-meter-high summit. The route to Camp II is repeated multiple times for optimal acclimatization.
