Why is Nangarbawa not as high as Mount Everest, but no one dares to climb it?

Although Mount Everest is high, its terrain is also high. Mountaineers can go to Everest base camp at an altitude of more than 5000 meters, and the actual climbing height is more than 3000 meters. On the other hand, Nange Baba Peak is not. Climbers can only climb from an altitude of more than 3000 meters, and the actual climbing height is more than 4000 meters. Moreover, Nange Bawa Peak has dangerous terrain and changeable climate, which adds variables to the successful summit. It was not until 1992, 10129 October that the Sino-Japanese joint mountaineering team successfully reached the summit of Nangbawa, which was the first and only time that mankind successfully reached the summit.

Nanga Bawa Peak is located at the intersection of Himalayas and Hengduan Mountains, with an altitude of 7782 meters. The world's peak ranks 15, and it is also the only peak below 8000m among the previous 15 peaks. Climbing Namgyabawa is far more difficult than climbing Mount Everest. Although the altitude difference is about110m, which makes it so difficult, Bian Xiao analyzed that all the core problems are the result of the special geographical location of Namgabawa Mountain.

First of all, it is located at the node of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau affected by the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific Ocean currents, which makes the climatic conditions in this area more complicated than more than 8,000 peaks in the central and western Himalayas. If you have the experience of driving into Tibet from Yunnan-Tibet line or Sichuan-Tibet line, you will encounter rainy, foggy and snowy weather after passing through this area, no matter what season, let alone how bad the weather is on the summit route. This is one of them.

The Yarlung Zangbo River turned a sharp corner at the foot of Nange Bawa, and its flow direction changed from northeast to southwest, forming a huge canyon. Strictly speaking, this canyon, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, is the largest canyon on earth, which is bigger than the Colorado Grand Canyon in the United States in both length and depth. A lot of precipitation and four distinct seasons have bred a lot of precious animals and plants, and they are basically not destroyed because they are far from the center of human activities.
